The problem was the Urbandale Fire Department does not have technician-level technical rescue capabilities. The purpose of the research was to assess the feasibility of establishing a regional technical rescue team to serve Urbandale, Iowa, and surrounding communities. The action research method was used in this project. Three research questions were used: (a) What is the current technical rescue capability of the Urbandale Fire Department? (b) What training and equipment is necessary to establish a technical rescue team? and (c) What formats are other regions using to address a regionalized approach to technical rescue? The procedures used in this research included personal conversations with the Urbandale Fire Department's main mutual aid technical rescue partner, review of industry articles and publications regarding the establishment of technical rescue teams, a review of the positive and negative aspects of potential regionalization, consolidation, and collaboration, and an extensive internet-based search. Results from this research included the authoring of a draft meeting plan that could be used to hold an initial collaborative meeting regarding the possibility of regionalized technical rescue services, as well as a compilation of a sample equipment list and sample standard operating guideline. Recommendations from this research were a) the Urbandale Fire Department is not warranted to establish its own technical rescue team but should instead engage in meetings to explore a regionalized or collaborative solution, b) the Urbandale Fire Department should consider the adoption of standard operating guidelines used by its main technical rescue mutual aid partners to best streamline operations and c) the Urbandale Fire Department must have a plan for ongoing training prior to engaging in technical rescue service delivery.
