In addition to routine and emergency ambulance transports, Princeton Rescue also boasts specialized services that are available at a moments notice. Our name says it all - Rescue! Our specialized rescue services include a state certified swift water rescue program, a high and low angle rope rescue team, a hazardous materials team, and a mass casualty response team. Each group is trained in the specific area of specialty and must maintain current certification through continuing education and updated training. The swift water rescue team is trained in survival swimming, setting up and effectively utilizing rope rescue systems over bodies of water, and have experience in swimming in many of the challenging conditions that are common in our region’s waterways. Our rope rescue team is a group of EMS providers that have taken it upon themselves to get voluntary training in skills such as knots and haul systems. This training includes horizontal and vertical movement of patients using specialized hardware. Our newest endeavors include the addition of a hazardous materials response team and the purchase of an ATV Ambulance for wilderness operations. With the addition of hazardous terrorism tactics, we have a team of highly trained personnel that can effectively perform containment, rescue and decontamination at hazardous materials incidents. Our wilderness rescue vehicle is a WV certified wilderness ambulance specially equipped with lifesaving capabilities and equipment that can deliver our trained personnel to remote scenes.
