Technical Rescue Team
The North Shore Fire Station, Station Four, houses the department’s Technical Rescue Team (TRT), in addition to Engine 4, Truck 4, and Rescue 4. The TRT is ready to respond to any emergency requiring specialized services including high angle rescue, building collapse, below ground rescue, difficult extrication situations, and natural disasters. The team trains at least once a month, sometimes with other agencies from surrounding cities and counties.
A large cache of specialized equipment and supplies have been acquired through several grants from the State of Florida Department of Emergency Management.
