Technical Rescue and Failure

The FAILURE acronym is found in the Trench Rescue: Awareness, Operations, Technician book written by Cecil “Buddy” V. Martinette Jr. but can be used in any technical rescue discipline. Martinette has another book due out this fall named Trench Rescue: Levels I & II, Third Edition which is coauthored by a well known name in the Tech Rescue circles, Ron Zawlocki.
