The Team held its monthly training this morning. After a presentation by our EMS physician on medical management for patients in technical rescue incidents, we then traveled to the training site where a simulated structural collapse was staged. Squads were established and tasks assigned. Squads had to detect and locate the “victims” and then gain access to and assess the “victims”. Crews determined that there were several non-viable “victims and one viable “victim” who required advanced care from our medical team while our rescue specialists worked to “free up” the victim and then package and extricate from the collapsed area. This challenging evolution required members to operate in cramped spaces while still providing expert care. Close coordination between the Rescue Group and the
Medical Group provides the victim with the best chance of survival.
Crews also reviewed a few new tools recently added to the equipment cache.
