Scope

During the past several years, there has been a constant increase in the number of

mountain/rope rescue related incidents. Because of the easy access to some of the city's

mountain presence parks, a growing number of citizens and tourists use the parks for

recreational activity. For a wide variety of reasons, victims become stranded in the

mountain preserves and the Fire Department is called to assist in getting these victims to

safety. Sometimes it involves a simple walk-down and, at times, it involves a very long

and complex technical high angle/rope rescue. This procedure will to apply to all Fire

Department personnel operating in a training or rescue incident.

Purpose

The purpose of this procedure is to establish guidelines for conducting high

angle/rope rescues. Because of the infinite number of potential sites and situations that

could be encountered, this procedure will not define a specific evolution to use, but will

give guidelines to follow for conducting safe and effective operations.

Definition

Rope rescue is defined as any rescue attempt that requires rope and related

equipment to safely gain access to, and remove patients from, hazardous geographic areas

with limited access such as mountains, high rise buildings, above or below grade

structures, by means of rope system. Mountain/rope rescues are divided into two general

categories; non-technical and technical.

Non-technical evacuations are those of less than 40 degree inclination. Technical

evacuations are considered those from 40 degrees to 90 degrees. Technical evacuations

require the dispatch of the Technical Rescue Team (TRT). Technical rescues will be

dispatched as HI (High Angle incident). A HI response will consist of at least two TRT

units, the Special Operations duty officer, as well as the first due company and a BC.
