Still water rescue (cold)

[firefighterjim]

I am looking for any information (SOP's, SOG's, training outlines) for still water rescue operations in cold water. I am not having much luck through the usual channels. Any information will be appreciated.

My Dept. has just started a "Water Rescue" team that works hand in hand with our established Dive Recovery team. We are hashing out some new SOP's and I'll try to get you a copy of our standards. Do you only wan the cold water stuff, or would you like all of it?
