"Swiftwater rescue is dangerous, no doubt about it. In flood-filled 1995, at least three firefighters died while attempting in-water rescues, and several other rescue personnel narrowly escaped with their lives. Sadly, most of these tragedies were due to lack of knowledge and training. Swiftwater rescue often gets shunted off to specialist outfits like dive teams, or lumped in with very generalized water and ice rescue programs. To many agencies, "water rescue" means dragging the lake for a drowning victim. While these may be the most common scenarios, they are not necessarily the most dangerous."
