RESCUE AND SQUAD COMPANY OPERATIONS

摘要

The rescue company is one of the most versatile and highest trained companies in the fire service. Its duties range from everyday bread-and-butter operations and vehicle extrications to more complex confined space, building collapse, and water rescue responses. Its members traditionally consist of highly trained veterans of the fire service with an extensive training background and have seen a fair number of fires. Members concentrate their technical training in building construction, confined space, rope and rigging, water rescue operations, vehicle rescues, and rapid intervention. In many departments, the rescue companies are the workhorses of the department.
