Chief Flagg: The Department is finishing the Basic Water Rescue course for approximately 170 colleagues. Each EMS unit will be equipped with water rescue equipment and all personnel will be trained. 5 residents have lost their lives when their car went into a canal. The other agency's that do participate in a water rescue course cannot respond quickly enough to be effective. Prior to this training, the response to these incidents by other agencies is prolonged as they are responding from home and off duty . The EMS Department presently has 93 active AED sites in the community. The Board has approved the purchase of the property on the East side on Santa Barbara at Davis Boulevard.
