The Brief ATCEMS gets more swift water rescue equipment New equipment comes after two years of deadly floods The equipment is thanks to a donation from Central Texas Public Safety Commission and their corporate sponsor, Covert Auto GroupAustin-Travis County EMS now has more swift water rescue equipment to help keep first responders safe and help save lives. "But we also get the swift water rescue component, which is what we saw in Kerrville, Sandy Creek, and what happened a couple of weeks ago." This comes after a year that tested swift water rescuers across Texas. I did not expect it to happen again the next year," Captain Copland said. Funding public safety initiatives is about more than dollars, it’s about standing behind the dedicated women and men who stand for all of us."
