Purpose and Policy
- The purpose of the Technical Rescue Standard Operating Guideline is to provide standardized responses to incidents classified as Technical Rescues by Northwest Central Dispatch (NWCD).
- The policy of the Hoffman Estates Fire Department is to follow this guideline, but it can be altered to achieve a more appropriate response based on information received from NWCD or to achieve a faster response based on location and/or status of fire department apparatus and personnel.
Information Gathering
- NWCD will attempt to gather the following information at the time of the original call for assistance:
- Nature of the rescue (structural/trench collapse, above/below grade rescue, or confined space event)
- Type of structure or space involved
- Number of stories or feet above/below ground
- Approximate number of people affected
- Victim's location within the building or space
- Involvement of hazardous materials
