City of Boise Firefighters get prepared for training with Idaho Army National Guard helicopters and crews.
Idaho Army National Guard helicopters and air crews teamed up with City of Boise Fire Department Firefighters conducting simulated swift water rescue training on Gowen Field.
An Idaho Army National Guard UH-60 Black hawk from Detachment 1, 1-168th Aviation Regiment along with an Idaho Army National Guard UH-72 Lakota from Detachment 1, 1-112th Service and Support Battalion assisted Boise Firefighters preparing for potential rescue operations from a moving platform. The training was the first of its kind conducted with Idaho Army National Guard and Boise Fire Department personnel.
A trailer hitched to a truck and traveling at a moderate speed simulated a vehicle swamped and moving by floodwaters. Helicopter and ground crews practiced lowering and retrieving a bag of sand from the moving trailer to ensure safety protocols were met. Once safety was determined acceptable, firefighters were then lowered to the moving trailer and picked up in a series simulated rescues. The training took place along an air assault strip used by Idaho Army National Guard Aviation units.
