Vehicle extrication 2

After breaking the glass, now we remove the doors from their hinges. We used the k12 saw to cut through the hinges and what not. After the door has become weakened enough, we can push it off its place.

a little sidenote, towards the end I almost fall back by helping push the door off LOL.

did not know you had more video.

I think that a partner saw is a absolute last resort for numerous reasons

Well this was our first time cutting up a car so we wanted to practice with every different method. We're all just in the Academy right now and not on a department.

[r5ff]

Have you guys ever heard of a hurst tool.

[EMUmonster]

Sure, spreaders or shears? We use those on the next video.

just throwing that out there for yas to try if you haven't already

[Morganfireman]

they made us use hand tools an learn to extricate before we was aloud to use our Genisis hydraulic tools to teach us respect for what we have today compared to what they had in the old days i tell ya after using a pry bar, axe, hacksaw, sledgehammer makes you really really appreciate the things we have today

[MrJoshuabaty]

You are all stupid. This was a demonstration

[winnipegfiredep]

And btw why would you cut the door out if you can open it?

[winnipegfiredep]

@ahnbra YOu are damn right. But thats the american way i think. Get 'em out fast but not as safe as possible

[Ziech27]

If a department has all the correct tools, there would never be a time you'd use a k-12 on a door like that. With a patient in the vehicle, a saftey officer would never let you shoot all those sparks into there like that.

A saw like the K12 has got to be your very last resort tool. I would use a portapower befor a k-12 sa at a MVA scene. You might have not have a gasoline leak but you could have an oil leak or other flamable fluid leak. I can not beleav a fire school would really teach you to use the k-12. Way to dangerous for me! Having a back up plan is a must but never would I consider a k-12 . Hot sparkes and posible flamable licquids = fire or even death for resucers and victums. That is just me.

bad stance at 4:40

@r5ff it's called having a back up plan. When we cut up cars for drills, to make it harder, we can only use one tool once off the squad. It challenges you and makes you think outside the box.

Why don't you guys just us hurst tools??
