Title: FXFD Stabilization and Extrication Training 6/26/12
Post by: MikeF9 on June 26, 2012, 09:49:40 PM
The Fairfax Fire Department would like to say Thank You to Fairfax Salvage for providing us with a couple of cars to do some stabilization and extrication training Tuesday night. We were able to use the jacks and extrication tool to give members practice for when an emergency is taking place.

The jacks are used to shore up a car to allow the personnel to safely work on the vehicle.

The extrication tool can do two things. With the first car, it was used to cut the posts for the removal of the roof. With the second car, the tool was used to force open the doors.
