The “Higgins & Langley Memorial Awards” (and Jeff’s legacy) are kept alive (sometimes barely in tough financial times) by sponsorship from companies like CFS Press, CMC Rescue, Inc., ESPRIT Whitewater, Fire and Rescue Concepts, IRIA, Kokotat, K38 Water Safety, Liquid Militia, Mustang Survival, Ozark Rescue Suppliers, Rescue Canada, Rescue 3 International/Rescue Source, Rescue ONE Connector Boats, Sierra Rescue/Rescue 3 West, Whitewater Rescue Institute, and SkyHook Rescue Systems, Inc. Additional support for the awards is provided by the Rudi Schulte Family Foundation, Jon Stephen and Karen Langley Stephen, and the family of John B. and Shirley A. Rigg, as well as contributions from many generous individuals including members of our Department.
The Awards can use help from Straight Streams readers and others to keep it going. Even if you never met Jeff Langley, chances are that some part of your job is better, safer, and more effective in saving lives because of his influence.
Allow us to recognize those who save lives and accomplish outstanding achievement in the technical rescue discipline of swiftwater and flood rescue.
These unique and distinguished individuals work to save lives of those endangered by swiftwater and flood incidents throughout the world.
