Adams County Fire Rescue is prepared to mitigate all types of rescue situations. Technical Rescue is a specialized aspect of what we can face in the fire service. ACFR has many target areas that have required us to become versatile in many technical rescue procedures. We have that team that is highly trained to cover those technical rescue operations.

ACFR has the equipment necessary to mitigate these technical rescue emergencies and the trained individuals who are able to cover; Confined Space Rescue, Rope Rescue, Trench Rescue, Structural Collapse, Swift Water Rescue, Ice Rescue, and Heavy Vehicle Extrication and Stabilization.

Each Tech Rescue Team member undergoes a State recognized Tech Rescue Academy that covers all aspects. Additional training is required through Dive Rescue International for water operations. All members are requested to do mandatory trainings that include neighboring fire departments to keep up with equipment, techniques and organization layouts. ACFR is one of nine departments in the north metro area that makeup the NATRT (North Area Technical Rescue Team). The NATRT is recognized as a Type III team by USAR under State Emergency Operations Center for its capabilities to assist in any national disaster. Recent deployments of the team have proven our dedication in providing the citizens within our respected areas the best possible service in Technical Rescue.
