Extrication equipment
used to extricate people trapped in
their vehicles after
a motor vehicle collision (MVC).
From left to right:
Spreaders "jaws of life" used to pinch,
pry or spread metal in various
directions.
Short and long "rams" useful for rolling
dashes to allow for more access to the
patients and lower extremities that may
become entangled in the pedals.
Shears used primarily for cutting posts
of a vehicle to completely remove the
roof,
providing greater access to the patient
and improving personal safety to both
firefighters and the patient.
