Extrication techniques refer to the methods used to safely remove individuals trapped in vehicles or other hazardous situations. These techniques are essential in emergency response scenarios, particularly in vehicle accidents where victims may be pinned or immobilized. Firefighters and rescue teams are trained to use specialized tools, such as jaws of life, to create space and safely extract individuals without causing further injury. The process often involves assessing the scene for safety, stabilizing the vehicle, and carefully cutting or dismantling parts of the structure. Proper training in extrication techniques ensures that rescuers can act quickly and effectively, minimizing risks to both the victims and the responders during the rescue operation.
