The kin of rescue that the MARS Teams do is like the hostage rescue variety. The Emergency Services Fire & Rescue teams are a very different kind of rescue... in the navy we have fire & rescue training every six months. And the SEALs let me watch the hostage rescue training.

Having dedicated Fire & Rescue workers acting as trainers (what the project personnel are suppose to be doing... acting as advisers and teachers).

I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
