Technical Rescue Operations, quantity I: making plans, education, and Command is the 1st in a brand new rescue sequence by way of Larry Collins. starting within the early Nineteen Eighties the fireplace carrier skilled the beginning of a revolution in its method of rescue. This new method has more desirable the best way firefighters and different rescuers may be able to observe, find, deal with, and extract trapped sufferers in virtually any state of affairs through emphasizing elements like cutting edge education, greater gear, and extra clever making plans via well-informed selection makers who continually ask the query "what if?" Technical Rescue Operations, quantity 1, explains the origins of rescue and courses officials throughout the strategy of constructing, supervising, and working a rescue approach. This ebook contains case experiences, pattern SOGs (standard working guidelines), pattern preplans, and time-proven equipment of coping with a wide selection of technical rescue and seek operations

Example text
Firefighters in places such as Constantinople, London, Prague, and other Old World cities were certainly called upon to rescue people (and even animals) trapped in burning buildings and other predicaments. Nevertheless, it took centuries for rescue to be identified as a discipline requiring dedicated units whose members were specifically trained to extract people from difficult entrapments. S. fire departments on the east coast established dedicated rescue companies to help ensure the timely rescue of firefighters who became lost or trapped during the course of fireground operations.
I–4 USAR Company in a Mud and Debris Flow By virtue of strategic positioning of fire stations for timely response to daily fire, EMS, and other emergencies, local fire departments are often first on the scene of rescue emergencies, whether they occur in the city, in the desert, on the ocean, in the mountains, or elsewhere. The public has come to expect the local fire/rescue department to properly manage these emergencies. And if the local fire department finds itself overwhelmed by the scale or complexity of a particular rescue or disaster, the public expects the chief officers to request appropriate assistance without delay to mitigate the hazard with minimum loss of lives.
The lines separating urban and rural fire/rescue departments are increasingly blurred by the advance of better SAR-related technologies, new rescue capabilities, and expanding rescue-related responsibilities (Fig. I–3). Fig. I–3 Modern Fire Departments Conduct Mountain Rescue and High-angle Rescue Operations Around the world, the fire service has stepped up to assume responsibility for ensuring safe, timely, and effective response to daily rescue-related emergencies. Today, fire and rescue departments handle the most complicated and dangerous technical SAR emergencies almost as a matter of course.
