Posted @withregram • @fdny Across New York City, the FDNY has 22 Surf Rescue Companies stationed along the coast. Members of these companies receive specialized training in water rescues and carry extra equipment designed for emergencies in the water.
The FDNY responds to hundreds of water-related emergencies every year, especially during times when lifeguards aren’t on duty.
To help protect yourself, always follow safety guidelines when swimming—whether in a pool or along the city’s 520 miles of coastline. Only swim in areas where – and when - a lifeguard is present. For more summer safety information, visit FDNYSmart.org
