Here’s some POV from participating in extrication training.

Being proficient and effective with extrication skills is critical when responding to major vehicle crashes. Your firefighters train to safely and quickly remove trapped patients so they can receive the urgent medical care they need.

Heavy Rescue 4, Truck 1, Truck 3, Truck 5, Truck 12, and Squad 11 all carry specialized extrication tools and regularly train to stay ready for these complex emergencies.
