Champion Fire/Rescue and Wilkesboro Fire Dept. Surface/Swiftwater Rescue teams came together for a joint training exercise focused on rescue boat operations, lake response plans, and victim management.

Both departments respond to incidents on W. Kerr Scott Lake and work together to provide water rescue services for our community. Training together helps strengthen communication, coordination, and interoperability between our teams, ensuring we can respond quickly, safely, and effectively when every second counts. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this training a success!
