To be successful at rescuing a lost, trapped, or missing firefighter requires a tremendous amount of dedication and preparation. Searching and removing one of our own at an emergency scene will challenge the best-trained firefighters. Case studies over the years continually point to the lack of preparation and training to deal with these type emergencies. Having a dedicated Rapid Intervention Crew or company at an incident is one thing; having a highly trained crew or company(s)to handle this responsibility is another. Fire Departments must have dedicated procedures and training to handle a MAYDAY.
