A Firefighter Assist and Search Team (FAST), also
known as a Rapid Intervention Team (RIT), is a special team
that comprises two or more firefighters dedicated solely to
search and rescue of other firefighters in distress. FAST

Each FAST member shall be equipped in the customary manner
prescribed by SOGs, including full turnout gear, SCBA and
PASS alarm. At least one member of the team shall also have
a portable radio able to communicate with the Incident
Commander. Additional equipment for each FAST member
includes, but is not limited to, hand tools, stokes basket,
hand light and search rope.(1)
Selected departments throughout Orange County have trained
FAST that respond to working fires in
surrounding districts.There are currently 20 Teams in
Orange County and an additional 5 from outside the county that frequently cover via
mutual aid.
