Confined space rescue involves completing the rescue of entrapped or injured personnel often within very small and narrow spaces that may expose crews to a variety of hazards.  It is one of the most dangerous forms of technical rescue, as it combines a hazardous atmosphere with other less encountered hazards such as engulfment and entanglement.
 
For fire crews to complete safe rescues of personnel within confined spaces they must understand the hazards that may be found within confined spaces, understand what skills and knowledge local workers may provide, and complete specific confined space rescue training across a variety of typical scenarios that are common within their response area.
