- Technical rescue
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 , andrescue . These disciplines includerope 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 theIncident 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 is 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 technician s, orparamedic s, as almost every rescue has a patient involved.References
