TNR Response
At Tech N Rescue, we are driven by a deep passion not only to educate and empower first responders but also to ensure our specialized training equipment is readily available for supplemental response. Our mission extends beyond training, as we aim to assist local agencies in managing a variety of emergencies by providing the tools and expertise needed to enhance safety, efficiency, and outcomes during critical situations.
As we continue to grow, we are actively working to expand our team with skilled professionals dedicated to both training and emergency response. By increasing our capabilities in areas such as search and rescue, UTV operations, remote communications, and specialized technical rescue, we are strengthening our ability to support first responders in complex situations. Our goal is to establish a network of highly trained personnel and cutting-edge resources to ensure that when an emergency arises, we are ready to assist effectively. Through strategic partnerships, advanced equipment acquisitions, and ongoing training, we are committed to broadening our impact and enhancing the level of support we provide to communities and emergency agencies across the region.
UAV- Aerial Drones w/ Thermal
Our team of FAA-certified drone operators provides advanced aerial support for fire, rescue, and emergency response with precision and professionalism. Every pilot on our team holds an FAA Part 107 license and is trained in nationally recognized NIST aerial test methods, ensuring reliable performance, standardized accuracy, and safe integration into incident operations.
Beyond fireground support, our drones play a critical role in storm damage reconnaissance, post-disaster assessments, and wide-area search efforts. From surveying tornado or flooding impacts to mapping hazardous zones that are unsafe for ground crews, our aerial capabilities give responders and command staff a clear and immediate picture of evolving situations.
By combining cutting-edge drone technology with nationally recognized protocols, we are able to enhance situational awareness, increase operational efficiency, and reduce risks to first responders. Whether it’s providing a live aerial view for command, identifying hazards after severe weather, or assisting in the search for missing persons, our drone operations are a vital tool in protecting communities and supporting emergency response.
Confined Space Drone Ops
Our team utilizes the DJI Avata 2 to expand capabilities into confined space and limited-access environments where traditional entry may pose significant risks. These compact drones allow us to conduct inspections, reconnaissance, and hazard assessments in areas that are unsafe or impractical for responders to enter, such as industrial facilities, tunnels, collapsed structures, or large storage tanks.
With first-person-view (FPV) technology and high-definition video, our confined space drones provide real-time visual intelligence to incident command, helping identify hazards, locate victims, or assess structural conditions before sending personnel inside. This approach reduces the risks associated with confined space entry and allows for faster, more informed decision-making.
By integrating confined space drone operations with our broader rescue and response programs, we deliver a safer and more efficient method of gathering critical information in high-risk environments. This capability not only enhances responder safety but also improves overall effectiveness in complex rescue operations.
Vertical Rescue
Our team of Rope Rescue Operations and Technician-certified personnel, along with our extensive array of specialized equipment, is ready to provide expert support for vertical rescue operations, ensuring safety and precision in every mission.
SAR K9 - Live Find & Cadaver
Through our partnership with Unified Fire SAR K9 Team, we are proud to collaborate with their highly trained cadaver and live find dogs to enhance search and rescue operations. Live find K9s specialize in locating living individuals by detecting human scent in the air, making them critical in wilderness searches, disaster response, and missing person incidents. Cadaver (human remains detection) K9s are expertly trained to detect human remains, playing an essential role in recovery operations.
By combining their expertise in both live scent and cadaver detection with our specialized rescue capabilities, we can provide comprehensive support to local agencies during critical incidents. This partnership ensures that whether the mission is rescue or recovery, our communities receive the most effective, efficient, and professional response possible. Together, we’re committed to serving with precision and dedication.
UTV
Tech N Rescue Inc. provides UTV response for search and rescue and disaster support in areas inaccessible to standard vehicles. Coupled with remote communications capabilities, our team ensures reliable coordination in areas with limited connectivity, enhancing situational awareness and operational efficiency. Whether supporting disaster relief or search operations, our UTV's and communication systems improve response times and overall safety in challenging environments.
Sonar - Search & Recovery
Through our specialized sonar program, Tech N Rescue utilizes the Humminbird Apex 19 equipped with Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar and MEGA 360 imaging to support water-based search and recovery operations. Our sonar system is fully portable and can be outfitted on any boat, allowing rapid deployment in emergencies.
Coupled with our trained sonar operators and cage-dropping techniques, we can quickly identify potential targets such as drowning victims, vehicles, and critical evidence. By precisely locating these objects before divers enter the water, we significantly reduce the time divers are exposed to high-risk conditions, enhancing both safety and efficiency.
This advanced technology, combined with our operational expertise, ensures that local agencies receive timely, accurate, and effective support during water-related incidents. Together, we are committed to providing precision-driven search and recovery solutions that protect responders and bring closure to families and communities.
Dive Rescue
Coming soon!
Our team includes personnel trained in public safety diving and shoreline support operations, positioning us to assist with a wide range of water-based incidents. We are currently pursuing grant funding to obtain full dive gear, which will allow us to safely field our own divers in coordination with our sonar and boat operations.
In addition to developing our internal capability, we also work alongside established dive teams to provide added support during emergencies. This collaborative approach ensures that divers, sonar operators, and shoreline support teams can work together seamlessly, improving safety and efficiency while delivering the best possible outcome during critical missions.
Boat Ops
Coming soon!
Our team is working toward the addition of dedicated response boats to expand our water-based operations. These vessels will be equipped for advanced sonar imaging, dive team support, and search and rescue missions in a variety of environments. With a platform designed specifically for sonar deployment, we will be able to rapidly locate victims, identify submerged hazards, and reduce risks for dive teams through safer, more efficient operations.
Beyond sonar, our boat operations will allow us to support swift water rescues, flooding events, and wide-area SAR missions on rivers, lakes, and other waterways. This capability will strengthen our ability to assist local agencies during water-related emergencies and provide a more comprehensive level of service to the communities we support.
