Everything about Technical Rescue totally explained
Technical rescue refers to those aspects of saving life or property that employ the use of tools and skills that exceed those normally reserved for
fire fighting,
medical emergency, and
rescue. These disciplines include
rope rescue,
swiftwater rescue,
confined space rescue,
ski rescue,
cave rescue,
trench/excavation rescue, and building collapse rescue, among others. In the United States, technical rescues will often have multiple jurisdictions operating together to effect the rescue, and will often use the
Incident Command System to manage the incident and resources at scene.
NFPA regulation 1006 and 1670 state that all rescuers must have medical training to perform any technical rescue operation, including cutting the vehicle itself during an
extrication. Therefore, in most all rescue environments, whether it's an
EMS department or
fire department that runs the rescue, the actual rescuers who cut the vehicle and run the extrication scene or perform any rescue such as rope, low angle, etc, are
medical first responders,
emergency medical technicians, or
paramedics, as almost every rescue has a patient involved.
