A Brief Description of the Disciplines Confined Space Rescue In order to meet these it is best to have pre-identified personnel who are trained to deal with the rescue. When dealing with confined space rescues there are several Occupational Safety and Health Administration ( OSHA) regulations that must be met. We also go back to our respective shifts and train them so that everyone can help during a call.
This team trains one day a month on various scenarios that we might come across. In order to keep up with all of the required training to keep proficient it was decided to form a team. This partnership is a benefit to the citizens of Grants Pass and all of Josephine County. We provide confined space rescue for the entire county and in return, they have provided us with thousands of dollars of equipment through grants. However, the equipment that we use is specialized and expensive so we have formed a partnership with Josephine County Search and Rescue. The team is primarily funded through tax dollars by the Citizens of Grants Pass. Below are some common questions that we get. Other disciplines that we train in include high/low angle rescue, swift water rescue, tower rescue, trench rescue, and urban search and rescue. The main function of the team is to provide confined space rescue for both the City of Grants Pass and Josephine County. The team consists of firefighters from GPFR. The TRT team was formed during 2001-2002 to provide rescue for situations that require specialized training or gear.

“Firefighters hiked down the hill through waist-deep brush expecting the worst, but found the driver of the truck was still alive but severely injured and ill,” officials said.Ĭowlitz County is in southwest Washington. They also spotted a truck in the ravine that matched the description of the vehicle belonging to the missing man and reported it to rescuers, fire officials said. No one knew where the man had gone for more than five days until residents spotted tire tracks leading to the ravine. He drove off the road and plunged 150 feet down a steep and “heavily wooded” ravine before landing at the bottom, rescuers said. The 56-year-old man was found alive in his green truck Sunday, May 21, in Cowlitz County, according to Cowlitz 2 Fire & Rescue. Tire tracks led rescuers to a man who had been missing for more than five days at the bottom of a ravine in Washington, fire officials said.
