Extrication Training June 2009
These cars were staged ”accidents” for training of removing a person from a wrecked vehicle. The training beneficial to both new personnel, as well as seasoned firefighters. Training in a controlled setting allows time to practice and learn and ask questions.
Several of the fire fighters volunteered to be ”victims”, stuck in the car to give trainees a real person to remove from the simulated wreck.

Thanks to Johnny's Towing in Ramseur for providing the vehicles.
