Rescue
The rescue resource page covers a range of tactical considerations for performing technical rescues and rescue operations on the fireground. Learn lessons learned from mayday events involving firefighter rescues; news about civilian rescues, like one captain’s controversial solo rescue; tips for managing technical rescue operations – rope, confined space, water, trench, vehicle/machinery, structural, and wilderness rescue; rescue incidents related to natural disasters and other major events; and even animal rescues and some rather odd rescues, like people stuck in trees, machine machines or other unique spots that require fire service intervention.
