The volunteers are not trained lifeguards and do not go in the water in dangerous conditions. Thanks to the department’s Dolphin-1 rescue buoys, they don’t have to.
The remote control Dolphin - 1 buoy has a range of half a mile and can carry two or three people to shore
A demonstration of the device showed how quickly one person can deploy the Dolphin and get it out to a struggling swimmer. Fort Morgan volunteer firefighters have used the device to rescue seven swimmers so far in 2023. Fire Chief Craig Rohman said it’s been a big help. The department now has two Dolphin-1 rescue buoys. They’re operated by remote control from the beach and unlike previous devices the department has used, the Dolphin buoy can pull two or three swimmers to shore at a time.
“It was cool. We got to ride it together. We were out there in the water. It came to us. It met us in the water, and it was easy to hold,” Cass Carr said.
