The Reno Fire Water Entry Team spent a day on the Truckee River practicing for what’s expected to be a record year for swift water rescues.  The team usually gets around four-dozen calls for rescues on the Truckee River in an average year, but the last year we had water like we’re seeing now, those calls really multiplied says Reno Fire’s Kevin Joell.  If you decide to hit the Truckee River before water levels drop, make sure you have a life jacket, wetsuit, good water shoes, a helmet, and a charged cell phone in a waterproof bag. Also, let your family know where you’re putting in, and where and when you plan on coming out of the river, so if you do go overboard, the rescue team can find you easier.
