About Lorain County's Response Team

The LCTRRT is a joint venture of the Lorain County Technical Rescue Advisory Board and the Lorain County Fire Chief's Association to provide the citizens of Lorain County with a team of highly trained firefighters to mitigate technical rescues in our area.

"Technical Rescue" refers to the aspects of saving life or property that employ the use of tools and skills that exceed those normally reserved for firefighting or medical response. The LCTRRT is trained to respond to incidents involving hazardous materials, high and low angle rope rescue, structural collapse, confined space rescue, trench rescue, and wide-area search.

The members of our team work for fire departments throughout Lorain County and attend additional training sessions each month so that they will be prepared to respond quickly and effectively to any rescue situation to which they respond.
