Crisis response teams
Rescue services are organizations and personnel trained to respond to emergencies where people need to be saved from danger or distress.
These include fire departments, coast guard units, mountain rescue teams, and search and rescue operations.
The term encompasses both professional agencies and volunteer groups that respond to accidents, natural disasters, and other life-threatening situations.
