We recently had the pleasure of training some new divers from the Ridgewood Fire Department and received a mention in The Ridgewood News afterward.

Widespread flooding in the wake of recent weather disasters such as Hurricane Irene and Superstorm Sandy has placed new emphasis on water rescue in Bergen County, particularly for towns that border naturally occurring brooks and streams. Two years removed from one of the worst flood events in village history, the Ridgewood Fire Department has bolstered its swift water rescue team, adding eight new members who recently obtained their Open Water Diving Certification.
