NFPA 1001 Vehicle Extrication
One of the most common situations encountered by today’s firefighters is automobile accidents. Automobile accidents are more commonly encountered than structure fires and are much more likely to put people at risk. When an emergency responder¬ís skill set is not trained upon with a high degree of frequency, the risk for errors or omission are ever present. These performance gaps can result in untoward consequences for both the rescuers and those that they have been summoned to assist.
Upon completion of this course, you should better understand the firefighter’s role at special rescue operations, the hazards associated with these operations, and the types and uses of rescue tools involved with vehicle extrication.
This course does not serve to substitute for practical, hands-on training. However, the course can provide a broader overview of vehicle extrication safety principles than certain practical courses, and you are urged to pay particular attention to the lessons covering safety. Safety areas covered in this course include safety at the scene and the means to ensure safety when dealing with vehicle systems that present known hazards.
