Rescue refers to operations that usually involve the saving of life, or prevention of injury.

Tools used might include search dogs, search and rescue horses, helicopters, the "Jaws of Life", and other hydraulic cutting and spreading tools used to extricate individuals from wrecked vehicles. Rescue operations are sometimes supported by special vehicles such as fire department's or EMS Heavy rescue vehicle.

Ropes and special devices can reach and remove individuals and animals from difficult locations including:

Rescue operations require a high degree of training and are performed by Rescue Squads, either independent or part of larger organizations like a fire, police, military, first aid squad, or ambulance services. In The U.S., they are usually staffed by medically trained personnel as NFPA regulations require it.

A. You would pay $10 at the Secretary of States Office to buy a trade name. Then open your business. The main government concern is that you locate on Industrial zoning where you won't be bothering any homeowners..

A. Need the hoses to be fireproof on the outside. Several times we have gone in burning buildings with our hoses only to have them catch fire and disintegrate.

How do I become part of an animal rescue thing?
Q. Not sure what it is called. But How do I volunteer or get hired to rescue animals? Where do I look and what for?
Asked by . - Sat Dec 8 23:02:04 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. call around to your local animal shelters/humane societies to see if they need volunteers (they usually do). most of them require that you attend some sort of meeting to learn about what you would be doing and then you can decide if you really want to volunteer. if you aren't 18 you will need one of your parents to sign a waiver because there is always the possibility of being bitten/scratched/hurt by an animal while there.
