Rapid Extraction Module Support (REMS) Teams

We will get you out safely when there is no time to waste

While our REMS Teams do not intend to replace ground or air transport, ideal conditions may not exist due to a number of circumstances such as heavy smoke inversion, no roads, or equipment malfunctions.

REMS provides incident managers another option to reach incapacitated and injured crew members and victims.

Our REMS Teams are fully equipped resources, prepared to package and transport injured or ill personnel out of austere environments to the appropriate medical care unit. Traditional REMS Teams are made up of four individuals but can be as small as two personnel depending on the incident request.

Our REMS Teams are made up of all medically and rescue trained personnel and have the following capabilities:

• Wilderness technical rescue

• ALS staffed and equipped

• Vehicle access and minor extrication

• Helicopter rescue

• UTV evacuation

• Search & Rescue

• Long evacuation care
