The user's manual presents research intended to provide improved information to local government officials for use in specifying and selecting rescue equipment and vehicles. To plan a rescue system and select the required equipment, a municipal decision maker must consider the requirements imposed by the local operating conditions and carefully weigh the trade-offs that exist between equipment performances and cost. Decision makers will find assistance in the areas of technology performance, cost, and the effects of operative conditions on performance requirements. This document includes the following: (1) a rescue operations overview and discussion of the rescue system development cycle; (2) a presentation of rescue vehicle and equipment selection and discussions of rescue equipment performance analyses, extrication tool package selection, rescue vehicle-type selection, rescue vehicle performance analysis, vehicle life cycle costs, and alternative technology.
