Rescue-2 is “in service” to the citizens and visitors of the City of Monroe as a “heavy rescue” truck.   “Heavy Rescue” implies a fully-equipped full-size fire apparatus with a diverse range of specialized rescue equipment, with a highly trained and experienced crew compliment.   With a crew consisting of a Fire Captain as the Company Officer, and Lieutenant as the Fire Driver/Operator, and two Private/Firefighters, all regularly assigned personnel are trained in many rescue-oriented skills, some of which include:

· Vehicle Extrication (using the “jaws of life”)

· High-Angle Rope Rescue

· Urban Search and Rescue / Building Collapse

· Trench Rescue

· Hazardous Materials Technician-Level Training

 

Rescue-2 is dispatched as first-alarm to all structure fires, fire alarms, motor vehicle accidents, auto-pedestrian accidents, and cardiac arrests.  This diverse range of response makes it one of the busiest apparatuses on the department.
