rescue crew
Lives-saving search group
A rescue crew is a team of trained personnel who respond to emergencies—searching for missing persons, extracting people from wreckage, or providing aid in disasters.
The term emphasizes coordinated effort: The rescue crew worked through the night to reach trapped miners.
Coast guard, mountain rescue, and firefighting units all deploy rescue crews.
