Canine Search Team (Search Dog Team; Dog Rescue
Team; K-9 Rescue Team)
Team
provides highly trained search dog teams for search and rescue
operations for living and deceased victims in a variety of environments. Teams can be broken into three capabilities:
air scent (primary), tracking/trailing, and disaster
dogs.
Cave Search and Rescue Team (Technical
Rescue Team)
Team performs
search and rescue services to locate and remove injured, lost,
or deceases individuals from caves and caverns.
Team members work in totally dark environments that may
include vertical drops, narrow or small spaces, boulder fields
and scree slopes, cold, and water hazards.
Chemical/Biological (C/B) Protective Ensemble
A compliant vapor-protective ensemble that is also certified
as being compliant with the additional requirements for protection
against C/B warfare agents such as vapors, gases, liquids, and
particulate. (National Fire Protection Association [NFPA]
Standard # 1991)
Chemical Warfare Agent
A chemical substance (such as a nerve agent, blister agent,
blood agent, choking agent, or irritating agent) used to kill,
seriously injure, or incapacitate people through its physiological
effects.
Chillers and Air Handlers
A portable system that produces cold water through a series
of components. When equipped with an air handler, cold air is
generated and distributed. Requires mobilization to the desired
site along with setup requirements, such as power hookup, water
connections, and duct installation.
Collapse Search and Rescue Team (Technical Rescue
Team)
Team responds to locate, rescue, and recover individuals trapped
in a fallen structure or buried in structural collapse.
Communications
Support Team, Civil Air Patrol (CAP)

Federal, State, and local agencies.
Confined
Space Search and Rescue Team (Mine Search and Rescue)
Team provides search and rescue services to individuals in
an enclosed area with limited entry or egress, which has a configuration
not designed for human occupancy, such that an entrant could
become trapped or asphyxiated.
An Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
permit is required for confined space operations.
Crawler Cranes
Crawler cranes have a steel undercarriage. Usually used for long-term applications where
significant weights and reaches are a factor. Stabilization is accomplished through precise boom and counterweight
configuration. Best
used on level working areas.
Several mobilization units will be required to transport
boom units and counterweights.
Set-up time can be accomplished with relative ease and
speed once all components are available for assembly.
Crew Transport
Any vehicle capable of transporting a specified number of crew
personnel in a specified manner.
Critical
Care Transport (CCT)
An ambulance transport of a patient from a scene or a clinical
setting whose condition warrants care commensurate with the
scope of practice of a physician or registered nurse (e.g.,
capable of providing advanced hemodynamic support and monitoring,
use of ventilators, infusion pumps, advanced skills, therapies,
and techniques).
Critical
Incident Stress Management Team (CISMT)
A Critical
Incident Stress Management Team is responsible for the prevention
and mitigation of disabling stress among emergency responders
in accordance with the standards of the International Critical
Incident Stress Foundation (ICISF). Team composition, management,
membership and governance varies, but can include psychologists,
psychiatrists, social workers, and licensed professional counselors.
