[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=English#ca._1100-1500_.09THE_MIDDLE_ENGLISH_PERIOD Middle English] rescouen, rescuen, from Anglo-French rescure, from re- + escure to shake off, from Latin excutere, from ex- + quatere to shake
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/14th_century 14th Century]
==Definitions==

:b : to recover (as a prize) by [[force]]
:c : to deliver (as a place under [[siege]]) by [[Military|armed]] [[force]]
==Description==
'''Rescue''' refers to operations that usually involve the saving of life, or [[prevention]] of [[injury]].
[[Tools]] used might include [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_dogs search dogs], search and rescue horses, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter helicopters], the "Jaws of Life", and other hydraulic cutting and spreading tools used to extricate individuals from wrecked vehicles. Rescue operations are sometimes supported by special vehicles such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_department fire department]'s or EMS [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_rescue Heavy rescue] vehicle.
Rescue operations require a high [[degree]] of [[training]] and are performed by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rescue_Squad Rescue Squads], either independent or part of larger [[organizations]] like a fire, [[police]], [[military]], first aid squad, or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambulance ambulance] services. In The U.S., they are usually staffed by medically trained personnel as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFPA NFPA] regulations require it.
In former centuries the word "rescue" had other [[meanings]]: for example, there is an old [[record]] of a countryman living where [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wythenshawe Wythenshawe] is now, being [[prosecuted]] in a local law [[court]] for "making rescue" of a pig which had been seized as a distress for non-payment of [[money]] owed.
