Rescue
Rescue refers to operations that usually involve the saving of life,
or prevention of injury.
Tools used might include search dogs, search and rescue horses,
helicopters, the "Jaws of Life", and other hydraulic cutting and
spreading tools used to extricate individuals from wrecked vehicles.
Rescue operations are sometimes supported by special vehicles such
as fire department's or EMS Heavy rescue vehicle.
Ropes and special devices can reach and remove individuals and
animals from difficult locations including:
Cave rescue
Confined space rescue
Fast water rescue
Ice rescue
Mines rescue
Rope rescue
Sea rescue
Rescue operations require a high degree of training and are
performed by Rescue Squads, either independent or part of larger
organizations like a fire, police, military, first aid squad, or
ambulance services. In The U.S., they are usually staffed by
medically trained personnel as NFPA regulations require it.
