Extrication tools

Extrication tools are specialized devices used by emergency responders to safely remove people trapped in vehicles after accidents. They include equipment like hydraulic cutters and spreaders (often called "Jaws of Life") that can cut through metal or pry apart vehicle frames. These tools help rescuers quickly access and free individuals without causing further injury. They are essential in situations where door removal isn't possible, enabling efficient and safe extrication from complex crash sites. Proper use of these tools can significantly reduce rescue time and improve outcomes for trapped accident victims.
