The present 85-member squad has personnel from the police, the Rapid Action Force and the Special Action Force of the Kolkata Police.
"After the tragic Stephen Court fire, the government and the commissioner of police felt it is prudent to have rescue team for victims who are trapped in a fire or any incident…God forbid.

Personnel are now being trained to rescue people trapped in fires or evacuating hostages during militant attacks on buildings. They already have training in diving and water rescue operations and clearing fallen trees off roads in case of storms or cyclones to prevent traffic disruptions.
