The five-part series on developing a dedicated rescue team wraps up in this edition.
"This series is to share the knowledge and mistakes we made while starting our team," Firehouse Technical Rescue Editor Bob Duemmel said. "We made some assumptions that slowed our progress and needlessly consumed our time. These articles help readers avoid those errors."
