The team has special training and equipment to handle situations such as Trench (Collapse) Rescue, Confined Space Rescue, High Angle Rescue (situations involving complex rope operations either above grade or below grade), Swift Water Rescue and Animal Rescue. Animal Rescue involves removing large animals from situations in which they get themselves into, and are subsequently unable to get themselves out. In keeping with the ability of fire and emergency services to adapt and improvise when handling unusual calls for service, the Special Operations Team is available to assist in many different situations not listed here.

The Kent County Special Operations Team is available through a Mutual Aid request arrangement should we need their assistance.
