LAKE STEVENS, Wash. - With the hot weather drawing more people to the water, first responders are standing by for potential rescues.
The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office hosted a multi-agency water rescue training at Davies Beach in Lake Stevens to prepare for the risks this season.
"We try to make our training as realistic as possible and predict scenarios and locations, and we make sure that our rescue swimmers are ready for it," said Jamal Beckham, lead of the rescue unit for Snohomish Regional Fire & Rescue.
