Vehicle Extrication

Vehicle extrication is the process of freeing individuals trapped inside a vehicle after an accident. This often involves the use of specialized tools and techniques by emergency responders, such as firefighters, to safely remove doors, roofs, or other parts of the vehicle. The goal is to access and rescue victims while minimizing further injury. Extrication may be necessary in various scenarios, including collisions or rollovers, where the vehicle's structure has made escape difficult. This procedure requires both skill and care to protect the victims and ensure their safe removal from the wreckage.
