Squad 2 stocked for rope, confined-space, trench and structural rescues
Summary
Presenter detailed Squad 2’s rescue tool set — rigging, rope systems, confined-space airbags, shoring materials, Hilti concrete tools and specialized cutting torches — to support multiple technical-rescue scenarios.
The presenter walked through discipline-specific compartments for confined-space, rope, trench and structural-collapse rescue, saying items are laid out to match the type of technical rescue being performed. He noted specialized rope rescue gear (stokes baskets, high directionals, harness and rigging bags) and equipment for tree rescues.
For structural collapse and trench scenarios the presenter described cribbing, shoring materials, Hilti concrete tools and multiple cutting torches (oxyacetylene, exothermic, plasma). He said the organization of the truck is intended to speed efficiency and make rapid deployment of the appropriate tool set easier for crews.
