Training Highlight: Vehicle Extraction
Vehicle crashes can change in seconds, and time matters when someone is trapped. Our training emphasizes a coordinated approach: secure the scene, control hazards, create space for access, and use extraction tools to remove doors/structure without causing additional injury.
We utilize hydraulic tools powered by batteries and pumps.
Vehicle extraction isn’t just “cut and go.” It’s planning, teamwork, and practiced tool discipline. So if you’re ever in a situation that requires extraction, our crews are ready to respond with skill and confidence.
Glad yall got use outta those!
