With the hot weather drawing more people to the water, first responders are standing by for potential rescues. FOX13
The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office hosted a multi-agency water rescue training at Davies Beach in Lake Stevens to prepare for the risks this season.
"I was splashing my arms like crazy and yelling for help," said Beckham. "I gave [rescuers] how many people were involved and [in] my general direction, that I saw one other person. And that’s all I knew. So, they had to build the scenario from that to figure out where to go and where to search.""When you’re flying from the air, you get a different perspective.
"Our rescue swimmers kicked into their training. And luckily we train here regularly. And some of the feedback afterwards was well, that was horrible to go on, but it was just like training," said Beckham.
