Technical Rescue for Structural Collapse
North American Version
Because fire department personnel are usually the first responders to structural collapses, firefighters should be trained to locate and free victims from collapsed structures in the safest and most efficient way possible. This manual, which addresses the structural collapse portion of NFPA® 1006, Standard for Rescue Technician Professional Qualifications , and the 1999 edition of NFPA® 1670, Standard on Operations and Training for Technical Rescue Incidents , is designed to go beyond the basic rescue skills detailed in the Fire Service Search and Rescue manual to cover those needed by the rescue technician at these types of incidents.
