Rope Rescue

Rope rescue is an aspect of technical rescue that employs nylon ropes, rappelling devices, and anchoring/belaying devices to reach victims in precarious positions. The three categories of rope rescue are high angle urban/structural, wilderness/mountain rescue, and cave rescue. Urban rescue teams usually comprise highly trained and specialized professional firefighters, while wilderness and cave rescues are often performed by volunteer firefighters.
