SWLA Water Rescue Package

The kit designed for the Louisiana Task Force 5 water rescue team includes several essential items for water rescue operations. Here's a breakdown of the components:

• Force 6 RescueOps PFD: A personal flotation device (PFD) designed specifically for water rescue operations. It provides buoyancy and helps keep rescuers afloat during water rescues.

• Princeton Tec Meridian Strobe: A waterproof strobe light designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions or during nighttime rescues. It helps rescuers locate and identify individuals in the water.

• NRS Standard Throwbag: A throwbag is a rescue tool used to throw a rope to a person in the water, allowing them to grab onto it and be pulled to safety. The NRS Standard Throwbag is designed for effective and accurate throws.

• Force 6 Radio Pouch: A pouch designed to securely hold and protect a two-way radio during water rescue operations. It ensures that the communication device is easily accessible and protected from water damage.

• Force 6 Extrication Leash: An extrication leash is a safety tool used to secure a rescuer to the rescue craft or another secure point while performing water rescues. It prevents the rescuer from being separated from the boat or getting swept away in fast-moving water.

• Force 6 Duffle Bag: A durable and waterproof duffle bag designed to store and transport the water rescue kit. It helps keep the equipment organized, protected, and easily accessible.

• Team Wendy Exfil SAR Tactical Helmet: A high-quality helmet specifically designed for search and rescue operations. It provides head protection and features accessories such as mounting points for lights or cameras.

• NRS Workboot Wetshoes: Wetshoes are designed to protect the feet and provide grip in wet and slippery conditions. NRS Workboot Wetshoes are sturdy and provide good traction for water rescue operations.

• Cestus H20 Attack-SX Gloves: These gloves are designed to be water-resistant or waterproof and provide dexterity and grip. They protect the hands during water rescues and other water-related activities.

These items collectively form a comprehensive kit that equips the SWLA water rescue team with the necessary tools and equipment to carry out their operations effectively and safely.
