This team trains one day a month on various scenarios that we might come across. In order to keep up with all of the required training to keep proficient it was decided to form a team. This partnership is a benefit to the citizens of Grants Pass and all of Josephine County. We provide confined space rescue for the entire county and in return, they have provided us with thousands of dollars of equipment through grants. However, the equipment that we use is specialized and expensive so we have formed a partnership with Josephine County Search and Rescue. The team is primarily funded through tax dollars by the Citizens of Grants Pass. Below are some common questions that we get. Other disciplines that we train in include high/low angle rescue, swift water rescue, tower rescue, trench rescue, and urban search and rescue. The main function of the team is to provide confined space rescue for both the City of Grants Pass and Josephine County. The team consists of firefighters from GPFR.
