Blackhawk Technical College

Students will rotate through a series of scenario-based extrication evolutions using nothing but hand tools. Students will be able to bring back the skills and knowledge to their departments using a selection of hand tools vehicle extrication. Learn techniques for extricating victims from incidents in. 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. This class covers vehicle construction, stabilization, disentanglement, and tool knowledge. Scenario based evolutions give the student’s practical solutions for real world problem.
