Peak Rescue of Casper Wyoming provides cutting edge training for rescuers in many different branches of government, and private industry. Sunday, July 8th, 2019, they were busy training Laramie County Fire District 1 in water rescue techniques in the Platte River, in Casper, at Whitewater Park.

Thanks to Tim Mandese for the photos and video. I've edited it all together at him into this YouTube video.

The first 1/3 is important rescue instruction. Stick with it for some awesome action in the last 2/3rds.

One rescuer finds a sweet spot in the raging river where he is able to hang on to his wake board in the churning water and ride it as long as he wanted.
