Mountain rescue is a specialized service that helps individuals in distress in mountainous areas. This can include hikers, climbers, or skiers who may be lost, injured, or trapped. Trained professionals, often part of volunteer organizations, use various techniques and equipment to reach and assist these individuals safely. Rescue teams typically consist of mountain rescue volunteers, paramedics, and sometimes search and rescue dogs. They are equipped with tools like ropes, harnesses, and medical supplies to provide immediate care. The goal is to ensure the safety of both the rescuers and those in need while navigating challenging terrain.
