Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Report: Two Career Fire Fighters Seriously Injured during Swiftwater Rescue Training at Low-Head Dam in Ohio
On April 17, 2007, a 32-year-old male career fire fighter (Fire Fighter no. 1) nearly drowned and a 35-year old male career fire fighter (Fire Fighter no. 2) was seriously injured during river rescue training. The fire department was conducting their annual river rescue recertification and the fire fighters were practicing a two-boat tether maneuver technique directly downstream from a low-head dam. The primary rescue boat crossed the boil line and became stuck in the recirculating backwash directly below the low-head dam. The secondary rescue boat, which the two injured firefighters were operating, also crossed over the boil line and was pulled upstream into the backwash. The secondary rescue boat disintegrated after striking the dam. Both injured fire fighters operating the secondary rescue boat were seriously injured and spent several months in rehabilitation.
