Vehicle Extrication
Vehicle extrication is the process of removing individuals trapped inside a vehicle after an accident. This often involves using specialized tools and techniques to safely access and free the victims without causing further injury. Emergency responders, such as firefighters and paramedics, are trained to perform these operations efficiently.
The extrication process may include cutting through metal, lifting the vehicle, or stabilizing it to prevent movement. Time is critical, as trapped individuals may require immediate medical attention. Proper training and equipment are essential to ensure the safety of both the victims and the rescue team during this challenging operation.
