Rescue Lab: Jess Coffey

<p>In this episode of The Rescue Lab, we sit down with <b><strong>Jessica Coffey</strong></b>, cave rescue specialist, instructor, and adventurer, to explore one of the most challenging rescue environments imaginable.</p><p>Jessica takes us inside the world of cave rescue—where darkness, confined spaces, difficult access, communication challenges, and long-duration operations can turn even a relatively simple problem into a complex rescue.</p><p>We talk about the skills required to operate underground, moving patients through extremely restrictive environments, training for low-frequency/high-consequence incidents, building trust within a rescue team, and the mindset required to remain effective when the way out may be hours away.</p><p>We also explore Jessica’s experiences as an instructor and adventurer and what the broader technical rescue community can learn from people who routinely operate in places where <b><strong>access is difficult, resources are limited, and adaptability matters.</strong></b></p><p>🎙️ <b><strong>The Rescue Lab — Real People. Real Rescue. Real Stories.</strong></b></p>
