User Reviews
This app is super easy to use and updated with great material. These systems are tried and true and are what we do in the field. Great resource.
I’m honestly glad I got this app it’s been a big help going through Rescue School.
Tom and team have delivered again with an excellent app that complements the field manual. This is a must have for a rescue tech of any kind from rope to structure collapse and in between. It makes a great tool to train crews with as well.
This is a great app to have for both experience and beginners.
The DRR Rescue Review is an excellent guide and reference for both in-field use and as a refresher for disaster response professionals. It provides clear, concise, and practical information essential for emergency situations, making it an invaluable resource for rescuers at all levels. Whether used for training, quick reference, or reinforcement of critical skills, this guide delivers reliable and actionable content that enhances operational readiness. Highly recommended for those involved in search and rescue, emergency medical response, and disaster relief operations.
Thanks for putting in the work to make this pocket guide small, up to date & organized.
I have been using prior editions of this product for years, as an adjunct or reference while instructing. Each successive new edition has brought relevant new information. This 6th edition is no exception. It should be considered standard issue to any team member. Excellent illustrations, and clear instructions.
Such a great tool for quick reference! Anyway to add a notes section where the user can add/remove/edit personal notes?
This app was suggested to me by a member of my task force. I’m civilian and don’t have the training the FF have. I need to learn ropes so I can double check rigging for myself and my dog to be safe. I’m learning so much about ropes and knots now!
I found this app on Rescue knots to be extremely useful.
