The DFRA Technical Response Team was formally organized in 2003 to help meet the many diverse technical rescue challenges in our service area and the surrounding region.

These include industrial sites, vertical cliffs, steep embankments, gorges, ice and swiftwater challenges. We work closely with several mutual aid agencies within the region to ensure a seamless structured response as it pertains to technical rescue.

To be a part of this specialized team requires a significant commitment of time in initial and ongoing training to ensure a competent safe response from our members.

Our overriding goal for the DFRA Technical Response Team is to provide our community with safe, timely, and efficient technical rescue solutions that are both gentle on the patient and the rescuers.
