West Metro Fire rescue team at Clear Creek for annual water rescue training

West Metro Fire divers are preparing for the busy summer months ahead with a new and matured swift water rescue team receiving training.

The rescue team began training Thursday morning as the annual practice gives the divers the real-life experience, so they can be ready for the season. 

Their peak season usually begins around late June, but with record-breaking snowfall, concerns could start earlier in the season. 

One thing the rescue team advises the public this season is to wear your life vest.
