With a focus on rescuer safety we are able to instill the knowledge, skills, and attitude necessary to become an effective emergency responder. We can provide initial or refresher training for confined space rescue, trench rescue, high angle rescue, structural collapse rescue, swiftwater rescue, heavy extrication, firefighting, hazwoper, or incident management.
Well I finally got to get over to Hendersonville NC and met Rhonda Chislaghi with Mountain Tek in person. They have an awesome showroom and stock a lot of the rescue equipment that we recommend to our clients. If you haven’t heard laurie Mccune retired and sold EVAC Systems and is no longer with the company. We had a 20+ year relationship with her and she always took care of our clients. We needed a new vendor to recommend our clients to. We chose Mountain Tek - Technical Rescue Equipment, Inc. as our preferred supplier for our clients. We waited to see how this new partnership developed before putting it out to all our clients. The feedback we have received so far has been great and our experience today was great as well. If you need equipment reach out to Rhonda and tell her Tech-ResQ sent you! She will hook you up!
Always a great time at FDIC networking with equipment manufacturers. Staying on the cutting edge of what is new and available for technical rescue.

The owner of a Colorado construction company facing felony manslaughter charges surrendered to local law enforcement after the county sheriff issued an arrest warrant on Jan. 24, 2023, related to the findings of a federal safety investigation into a deadly trench collapse in November 2021.
In May 2022, OSHA cited Peter Dillon, owner of the now-defunct A4S LLC, after a worker installing residential sewer pipes suffered fatal injuries when the trench around him caved in. The collapse resulted from deteriorating conditions at the project, which A4S LLC could have prevented by using legally required trench protection systems.
OSHA issued three willful citations to A4S LLC for not ensuring the excavation was inspected by a competent person, failing to instruct employees on the recognition and avoidance of unsafe conditions, and not having a trench protective system in place. Investigators also issued an additional serious citation for not having a safe means of egress within 25 lateral feet of employees working in a trench.
The agency proposed penalties of $449,583 and placed the company in OSHA’s Severe Violator Enforcement Program.
The department referred the case to the 5th Judicial District Attorney's office recommending criminal charges for A4S LLC's refusal to require safety protection, despite worsening trench conditions that included at least one trench collapse.
A4S LLC has since shuttered, and Dillon agreed to forfeit any future ownership, leadership, or management position involving trenching, excavation, or oversight of workplace safety and health.
Collapses and cave-ins pose the greatest threat to trenching and excavation workers. In 2022, OSHA reported that at least 39 industry workers died, 22 of them in the year's first six months.
