The Personal Rescue Watercraft (PRWC) Program is a new addition to PBCFR's water rescue capabilities.  Four new PRWCs are available to assist land-based crews during response to incidents such as drownings and other types of open water emergencies. Strategically stationed at the busiest inlets in Palm Beach County, two PRWCs are currently assigned to Station 18, near the Jupiter Inlet and two are planned to be assigned near the Boynton Inlet. PBCFR prepares personnel to be proficient PRWC operators and skilled rescue swimmers during intense training taught in and on the water. A PBCFR PRWC offers an assigned operator and rescue swimmer in service during daylight hours to residents and visitors of Palm Beach County.
