Firefighters increasingly are called upon for a wider variety of technical search and rescue operations. By training your department to respond to, manage, and conduct a variety of rescues, they will more efficiently handle daily incients and be better equipped to handle "once-in-a-career" events.
This book is the second in a 3-volume series by Larry Collins. This book covers terrorism, structure collapse, water rescue, mud and debris flow, and helicopter rescue operations. This volume also explains how to handle more complex and large scale rescue operations that challenge responders to apply solid rescue principals for longer periods of time.
Features:
- Contains "best practices" from fire/rescue agencies from around the world, showing how technical rescues and disasters can be managed safer, faster, and more efficiently
- Benefit from the author's multiple "once in a career" rescues and years of responding to many daily technical rescue operations in the challenging, multi-hazard environment of Los Angeles County
- Maximize the base of knowledge developed by leading international rescuers and fire/rescue agencies
