Rescue
Missoula Rural Fire District
firefighters respond to all types of calls for rescue, from the most basic to the highly technical. Accordingly, they train regularly in the following technical
rescue disciplines:
CONFINED SPACE rescue is often necessary in a number of circumstances and locations, such as storage trailers and tanks, caves, silos and boiler tanks at industrial sites.
ROPE rescues can occur on a gently sloped hillside as well as a high angle, vertical wall, such as a building or mountainside. A majority of MRFD's rope rescues occur when a vehicle goes over an embankment.

More Services:
TRENCH rescue skills come in handy whenever and wherever there is work below grade (ground level) and a potential for cave-in.
ICE & SWIFT WATER rescue occurs regularly in Missoula County; inside our District, we have three major rivers and other water bodies. With this abundance of recreation opportunities comes a high probability of accidents. Accordingly, our fire crews train for and respond to all types of water rescue year round.
