Called “skid deployment” training, the exercise involved 10 lifeguards and four personnel of the Air Operations Division, including two pilots, a crew chief and a medic. Fire officials said in the normal course of operation, the fire-rescue helicopters are staffed with trained lifeguard personnel during busy summer holidays like July 4th, Labor Day and also during large surf conditions. Skid deployments allow lifeguards to quickly get to emergency locations in the bay or ocean to perform rescues and searches. Additionally, the copter provides the capability to search from the air to locate victims and then quickly deploy two lifeguards simultaneously to a victim’s location for rescue.
