Five Classes Left

Vehicle Extrication

Going into the home stretch for Fire Fighter II. Tonight we took the liberty to cut, pry, lift, pull and smash a fleet of cars. K12, Jaws of Life (Spreader & cutter) center punch, haligen, axe, cribbing, and a little elbow grease.
We started with a fully intact Pontiac 2-Door

After cutting the hood open (K12) we cut the connections to the battery to prevent the airbag from going off.

Then all the window were removed/broke (center punch & halligan) including the windshield.

Next came the doors. Hydraulic Spreaders & Cutters (jaws of life) followed by the cutting of the A & B posts.







Finally, the roof is rolled back and complete access to the interior.
