First published in 1993 Technical Rescue magazine was begun with enthusiasm and knowledge of what we as rescuers wanted to read. Now TRm is the oldest specialist rescue publication in the world. Technical Rescue as a discipline is of course a key activity for Fire Services & USAR teams but is equally important to Mountain Rescue, Cave Rescue, Swift water Rescue, Rope Rescue and SAR Teams, Coastguard, Police, Military and Industrial Rescue Teams. TRm always reflects Rescue as a multi agency discipline.
