F.A.S.T - Firefighter Assist and Search Team
 

What is F.A.S.T ? 

A Firefighter Assist and Search Team (FAST), also known as a Rapid Intervention Team/Crew (RIT/RIC), is a specialized team of firefighters dedicated  solely to search and rescue of other firefighters in distress at the scene of an emergency incident.  While not actively involved in search and rescue  activities they will be alert for changing conditions of a fire, unsafe operations, and accountability of firefighters on the scene.  If called to aid  unconscious, injured or trapped firefighters they are prepared to get them out of harms way immediately for further medical treatment as needed.  A  FAST team shall have no other operational assignment during an incident. Multiple alarm or complex fires may require the response of multiple FAST  teams.
