Any rescue is challenging enough, but add in a trench, side of an embankment, top of a platform, building or equipment, and it gets quite interesting indeed.
A large percentage of a fire department's runs are medical emergencies or EMS calls. Many incidents, regardless if they started as fires, haz-mats, vehicle accidents, or something else, will also involve some type of injuries
Vehicle accidents can range from the small fender bender, to large multi-casulty incidents involving patient triage and treatment, and sometimes some very tricky extrication situations.
One of the many duties of a fire department, is helping the businesses and residents stay educated and trained in fire safety and awareness.
Having an airport in your jurisdiction means having aircraft incidents. Some incidents can be relatively small and easily managed, but others are large, devastating emergencies that require multiple agencies, and resources.
Another of the challenging types of fires encountered by personnel. Some equipment is still energized upon initial fire suppression; and the equipment may have many entrapment areas, dangerous materials inside, blades, or many other ways to make these fires dangerous.
These types of incidents are a lot more dangerous than most people would think. Not only is there the inherent danger of the vehicle and it's components, but there is the unknown dangers of the vehicle's contents to think about.
There are many small fires involving vegitation yearly, but there are also some extremly large and devestating wildland fires that occur every year. These require apparatus and personnel from many districts for mutual-aid; our district has responded to some of these large fires.
