Yes; we actively do trench rescue and have been since 1999.
In Illinois, they no longer have a trench rescue curriculum. They have folded trench into a technical rescue curriculum, along with ropes and knots, high angle, low angle evolutions.
We have not had to use it yet. Though, the department continues to practice, practice, practice.
We also have some members that respond with an area-wide team.
If we don't do it, who will?
