The Technical Rescue Team is staffed by seven people per shift. Team members receive extensive training and perform rescues in the areas of Confined Spaces, Rope Rescue, General Extrication, Entrapped Patient, Structural Collapse/Advanced Heavy Rescue, and Truck Operations.

Team members utilize special equipment and apparatus in the course of their job. To avoid the large capital expenditure of this specialized equipment, the District has entered into a unique partnership with United Rentals to donate or replace existing equipment when needed. Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue thanks United Rentals for its commitment to the public safety!
