Rescue 3 Instructors share similar philosophical outlooks concerning both rescue instruction and rescue itself. Outlooks they believe should be shared with any agency and student with whom they are in contact. Those who can't, teach. They can't do that by becoming instructors only. They have to remain active to some degree in their chosen rescue discipline.
Active involvement is the first key to being a competent instructor.
Even searches are now being treated as rescue emergencies. It is important to remember that none of these disciplines is distinctive and stands on its own with its own manuals and techniques. Rather, they each have their own unique aspects while borrowing applicable techniques from the others. For instance, High Rise and High Angle Rescue contains material developed for not only Vertical Wall Rescue, but also High Rise Fire Fighting, structural engineering, architecture, Heavy Rescue, Dirt Cliff Rescue, and even some considerations from Water Rescue and Search and Disaster Management. There is no one way to do any kind of rescue.
