For a tree rescue, what is included in the second alarm response configuration?

When responding to a tree rescue, the second alarm response configuration typically includes two rescue units. This is essential to ensure that there are enough personnel and equipment on scene to safely and efficiently rescue individuals who may be trapped or in danger due to a tree-related incident. The inclusion of two rescue units allows for a division of tasks; one unit can be directly involved in the rescue operations, while the other can assist with support roles such as medical assistance or managing the scene.

The other configurations mentioned may not provide the specific resources necessary for a tree rescue scenario. While options involving fire engines or command units add valuable support, they may not offer the specialized rescue capabilities and personnel required for tree rescues. Similarly, involving a helicopter can be useful in certain high-risk extrications but does not directly align with the typical approach to rescue deployments for this type of incident. Therefore, having two dedicated rescue units is the most effective and appropriate strategy for such a situation.
