DIVE TEAM
The West
Ridge Fire Department is part of the Millcreek Township Dive
Team. Other fire departments that comprise the Millcreek
Township Dive Team are the West Lake FD, Lake Shore FD and Belle
Valley FD. To join the team, a prospective diver must complete a
30 hour class, receive all certifications that are required by the
Dive Team and perform several practice dives. In addition, the
Dive Team meets on a regular basis to perform several practice dives
throughout the area. Those members who are not certified divers
also respond with the Dive Team to assist with short support.
An asset
that is available to the Dive Team is Fire Boat 509,
which is operated by the Lake Shore Fire Department. Fire Boat
509 is docked at Walnut Creek Access and has been utilized in the
past.
The Dive Team is also available to respond outside Millcreek
Township on a mutual aid basis when requested. When the Dive Team is dispatched, WRFD responds with
UTV 476, Truck 477 and
Truck 478.
