Cave rescue is a highly specialized field of rescue in which injured or trapped people are removed from or treated in caves and other underground space(Holes). Cave rescue borrows from firefighting, confined space rescue, and rope rescue, but also has developed its own special techniques and skills for performing work in conditions that are almost always difficult and demanding.
In the United States the leading cave rescue training curriculum is developed and deployed by the National Cave Rescue Commission * (NCRC), which operates as part of the National Speleological Society (NSS).
Notable cave rescues or attempted rescues
- Emily Davis Mobley from Lechuguilla Cave in New Mexico in 1991. More than seventy people worked over four days to bring her to the surface after her leg was broken.
