Welshpool Fire Station is now a hub for water-based life saving operations, after firefighters completed specialist training.
The station will be equipped with specialist personal protection and technical rescue equipment, including a four-metre inflatable craft which has been specially selected for its capability of operating in swift water environments.
The training involved an intensive four-day course at Llandysul, which incorporated practical and theoretical sessions.
