Bike Medic Team

The Bike Medic Team is made up of fire department EMT’s and Paramedics who carry advanced life support equipment on specially outfitted public safety bicycles.  The team is utilized as additional manpower where a quick response may be limited by conventional methods such as at special events, conventions, sporting events, community functions, or large events. For more information, please email FireMedicBike@gwinnettcounty.com.

Critical Incident Stress Management

The Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) Team is a group of individuals from all areas of the department who utilize comprehensive methods of assisting personnel before, during and/or after a crisis.  Support is confidential, informal, supportive, and non-evaluative.

Haz Mat

The Haz Mat Team coordinates hazardous material recognition, scene safety, significant gasoline spills, natural gas line breaks, material removal, victim retrieval, and decontamination operations.

In addition, Haz Mat is responsible for procedures needed to transport a contaminated victim to a medical facility.

Honor Guard

The Gwinnett Department of Fire and Emergency Services Honor Guard was established to represent the department, its employees, and their families at funerals, parades, and other ceremonial occasions. Members of this team assist employees and their families during times of emotional duress.

Mass Casualty Incident

The department’s Mass Casualty Incident Team (MCI) responds to a wide range of incidents including those that have a high potential for overwhelming a typical response assignment. The team has additional training in multi-patient care and management, mass triage capabilities, and Includes advanced training in infectious disease related emergencies. The team also includes a regional special response unit (SRU) known as MAB-2. This special response unit allows for multiple non-critical patients to be transported, monitored, and cared for simultaneously enroute to a definitive care facility.

Swift Water Rescue

The Swift Water Rescue Team (SRT) coordinates surface water-related emergencies. Rescue techniques vary according to the body of water and available access. Swift Water Rescue Teams will perform in-water rescues using ropes, rescue boards and various rescue watercraft. Controlling watercraft in fast-moving water is extremely dangerous and requires highly skilled personnel with many hours of training. As with all specialty rescue teams, other resources such as aviation units can be called upon for assistance. Time is of the essence in swift water rescue incidents as Hypothermia can rapidly immobilize even the strongest swimmer.

Technical Rescue

The department’s Technical Rescue Team (TRT) is a highly specialized team which performs a myriad of functions.  These functions include confined space rescue, industrial machinery entrapment, structural collapse, trench rescue, rope rescue, and many other scenarios which could require specialized skills obtained through advanced training.
