Washington Township Fire District
Technical Rescue Team

The Technical Rescue Team was organized in 2006 to provide advanced rescue services to Washington Township and the surrounding region. The team is capable of performing rope, collapse, confined space, and trench rescue operations. Members receive hundreds of hours of additional training and must drill regularly to qualify as part of the team. A cache of specialized equipment is maintained on the technical rescue trailer, housed at the East Holly Avenue station.
