Hands on instruction will be given for lifting, stabilizing, and cutting using new tools and techniques. This class will provide students with the abundance of hands-on tool usage

Participants will learn common problems associated with popular vehicle extrication evolutions. By understanding how these issues develop, rescuers will learn to avoid these mistakes and gain a more confidence in tool knowledge and scene control. The ability to perform extrication on vehicles in a controlled environment is generally hard to get, or cost prohibitive

Maximum hands-on training takes you through modern extrication practices using hydraulic and non-hydraulic rescue tools.
