Today vehicle extrication is as much a part of the fire service as firefighting. This class deals with tools and techniques required to remove an entrapped victim from a vehicle accident. Emphasis is on proper use of powered and manual rescue tools and air bags, coordination with EMS personnel, vehicle designs, IMS, and safety considerations. Participants will apply these techniques in practical applications. This course is a 16 hour course and meets Chapter 8 of NFPA 1006, Vehicle and Machinery Rescue Technician, 2003 edition. (This course will meet the vehicle extrication requirements for Firefighter I certification through the Division of Fire Safety)
