Road rescues are a type of job that involves towing vehicles from the side of the road. The term 'TOWS' is an acronym for 'Towing On Wheels Service', which is a service that provides roadside assistance and towing services. Road rescues involve towing vehicles that have broken down, been in an accident, or are otherwise unable to move on their own. This service is often provided by tow truck companies, who are equipped with the necessary tools and equipment to safely and quickly tow vehicles from the side of the road.
