Vehicle extrication 3

On the other side of the truck, we used a different tool other than the k12 saw. We used an air compressed chisel ( its a minature jack hammer) to cut through the door exposing the protection bar that prevents the door from smashing in all the way. Along the way I stopped to check out how the rest of my class was doing. Then I used the halligan bar to create a spot big enough for the spreaders (aka the jaws of life) to penetrate in giving us room to take the door off.

Did you guys learn about how to use the ools on the rear gate? I hope so. In some situations that might be the safeste entry and exit on a MVA scene. It's good to use mu;tipal types of forcable netry tools for a MVA extercation. I just can not wrap my head around the k-12 idea. A air chisle very wise. Did you guys lern about glass saws for the windshields? How about using a spring loaded center punch on the windows in a corner will work really fast. Looks like a good school over all. Saty safe!!
