so when it matters most the transition from water to shore is just as precise as the rescue itself. (3/3)

@lacolifeguards use a range of extrication techniques, adapting to the conditions and the situation at hand. They train for these scenarios regularly, in all kinds of surf and environments, (2/3)

An equally important part of an ocean rescue is the extrication. Between the rescue itself and the treatment on shore lies the critical process of getting a patient safely from the water to land. (1/3)

Community 🚒 Kudos to our dedicated #LACoFD Bn 8 FFs for providing exceptional service through outreach & education efforts in the City of Whittier including a recent “Touch-a-Truck” event at the Whittwood Library & Read Across America Program at the Whittier Public Library.
