rescue squads
Crisis response units
Rescue squads are organized teams trained to respond to emergencies and extract people from dangerous situations.
They operate in contexts ranging from automobile accidents and building collapses to wilderness searches and water rescues.
Members typically include paramedics, firefighters, or specially trained volunteers equipped to provide immediate medical care and safe removal of victims.
The rescue squad arrived within minutes of the call.
Many communities rely on volunteer rescue squads as a crucial part of their emergency services.
