Fastwater Spill Response Training

Located near Missoula, Montana on the Clark Fork River, WRI Training Center provides the ideal location for comprehensive courses. We have also conducted fastwater spill response trainings throughout the U.S.: from the Mississippi to the Columbia, we have the experience to train your team.  We offer a range of classes that emphasize responder safety and  risk management,  while providing hands-on training with skills needed to quickly deploy boom in fast water.   Participants learn to recognize and avoid fastwater hazards, equipment, booming strategies, recovery systems, rigging onshore anchors, establishing mid-stream attachment points, creating deflection boom, containment boom, cascading chevrons, line crossings, boom vanes, jet boat operations and much more.
