Over the past few years as the HTR team has grown to include most of the disiplines of Technical Rescue. We have members who have assisted with emergencies locally as well as in other States, trained all across the Nation, and some who now teach these disiplines Internationally. Technical Rescue includes Trench Rescue, Confined Space Rescue, Vehicle Rescue, Water Rescue, Rope Rescue, Farm Machinery Rescue, Structural Collapse Rescue, and Wilderness Search Rescue, as well as some others. Roanoke should be proud of the level of care the Roanoke Fire-EMS Department is capable of providing.
