@miawgordon Cold clear nights followed by a dump could be the recipe for depth hoar. Backcountry enthusiasts please be cautious as the season starts. @NSRescue @CoquitlamSAR @WhistlerSar

In today’s scenario a concrete culvert rolled into a trench pinning a worker to the ground. The #Rescue technicians had the trench walls shored up, culvert stabilized & lifted off the worker in <40 min. Nice work team! Thanks @timoldfield604 for the 📷 #cantf1 #usar

These @vanfirerescue #VFRS Special Operations Technicians also serve as rescue specialists on #CANTF1- their four disciplines (high angle, confined space, structural collapse, trench) make sure we can access anyone trapped by anything, anywhere. #vanspecops

When #Vancouver #Firefighters on our #TechnicalRescueTeam say they are just “hanging around” it may be more exciting than it sounds. Crane rescue training! @IAFF18 @VanFireRescue @CANTF1 Pics:J Gormick

@DNVFRS members were out training on the Capilano river today with our @CANTF1 partners from @VancouverPD and @CityofVancouver Training to server you better.

If you’re entering the backcountry, know the risk level and be prepared. Overconfidence and/or underprep can put you AND rescue teams like @NSRescue #whistlersar @CoquitlamSAR @BCSARAssoc in avoidable danger.
“It’s prob fine” ☠️❌
“Nah, let’s reevaluate on Monday” 👌✅

Special Public Avalanche Warning for BC’s South Coast & Van Island in effect immediately. A weak layer in the snowpack currently buried about 50cm deep will remain fairly easy to trigger, w an added 10-15cm of snow on top tmrw. Resulting avalanches could be deadly. @avalancheca
