Vehicle Extrication

Methods

Airbag Single Point Lift

Side Access Rip/Blitz

Tunneling

B-Post Blowout or Full Side Removal

Please note that we do not remove a door, then another door and then go back to the B pillar, that is wasted motion; we make a series of relief cuts and use the spreader to peel the B pillar off of the rocker. We gain our space with a window spread for the initial tool placement at rear door. If the car is not on all four tires, we might need to adapt/improvise.

Fire Department Auxiliary
