Rescue knowledge and training in New Zealand for urban rescue has focused on basic light rescue. These events have reinforced the need to develop an integrated strategy for rescue as indentified in the Report of the Emergency services Review Task force and the opportunity to improve the training of 1) The public in basic rescue techniques (self help); 2) Neighbourhood and workplace teams; 3) Specialised rescue groups. To investigate methods of filling the identified void , the New Zealand Fire Service funded in November 1995 a pilot programme in urban rescue based on the Federal emergency management model in the United States
