Episode 27 - The NWCG REMS Debacle (Part 1)
Part 1: "Breaking Down Rapid Extrication Modules: Team Composition & Standards"
In this episode, we take a deep dive into the NWCG's Rapid Extrication Module (REM) document, analyzing what it lays out for team composition, roles, and responsibilities. We'll examine the standards—or lack thereof—set by the NWCG and why this failure to establish a wilderness rescue protocol leaves critical gaps. Are these teams fully prepared for the challenges of backcountry rescue? Tune in to find out as we dissect the document and explore its real-world implications.
