What would happen if a tornado leveled homes in Roscoe, burying residents under debris? Or an accident on a bridge in Machesney Park leaves a semi dangling over the bridge with the driver still inside? Or workers digging a trench in South Beloit get buried by dirt? Would the the fire department be trained and have enough equipment to rescue these victims? The answer is YES! Not only do we do our own training, but we are also a part of a bigger team when extraordinary technical rescue is needed. The "Stateline Technical Rescue Team" can be activated immediately if needed through the local Mutal Aid Box Alarm system. (MABAS) Harlem-Roscoe Fire's support roll to Stateline is on the trench rescue, MABAS alarm side. Our equipment can also be utilized for structural collapse.
