Assisting the Frisco and Plano Fire Departments and Fairview
Firefighters from Strike team 122 with an in progress rescue of their swifwater
incident. K38 Team Leader Shawn Alladio performing a swift water rescue
9/1/2017 in the Vidor area of Orange County Texas, Thank you for the Facebook
LIVE capture of this event Patrick Ingram who was a vital team member, thank
you for all your support Patrick. Kawasaki USA #JetSki
Our team had just arrived on the Interstate 10 overpass
direct from California when one of the firemen responsible for working the
swiftwater rescue ran over to our vehicle and said he needed a Jet Ski to get
this man out of the strainer. Michael Spencer immediately drove the Jet Ski
trailer to the submerged section of the Interstate near the onramp and the team
quickly removed the Jetski with the help of Justin Wilson from Texas. Shawn
while still in her clothes, grabbed a helmet, lifejacket and a pair of work
gloves and drove to the scene and brought the man out.
Incidentally over a dozen vessels ended up in the treeline
of which each subsequent day the water flow increased and the strainers became
more deadly. There were multiple fire departments assisting this incident, we
thank them for all the work they did during this flood event. The fireman gave
excellent commands and were methodical in thier approach to working with us
without introduction or knowledge of our team capability. They gave us a lot of
trust as an unproven asset and we thank them.
