How Can We Help You?

Specialty Teams

Technical Rescue Training In recent years, many fire departments have taken on the additional responsibilities of providing assistance in mitigating emergencies in areas not traditionally serviced by fire service personnel. These emergencies are hazardous materials response, confined space and technical rescue, and fire cause & origin investigation.

The personnel with these abilities on the Hinsdale Fire Department have joined forces with the members of our mutual aid association to provide a strong background in training, response, mitigation, and resources that is cost prohibitive for individual departments. At the present time, the fire department participates in the following regional response programs:
