Extrication Update

No comments

During my classroom portion of the train the trainer class in Ann Arbor, I talked about how useful the Internet and even Facebook is to the fire service, especially the extrication discipline!   Take a look at the links below for some great extrication information!

  • First Due Tackle by Paul Hasenmeier (Paul will be a great addition to the FireEMSBlogs.com network,  make sure you like the First Due Tackle Facebook page)
  • Rediscovering the Air Chisel by Les Baker (Why so many firefighters don’t use this tool—and what they should know about its many practical uses)
  • Interior Ramming vs. Exterior Spreading by Les Baker (What the interior rescuer needs to know to conduct aggressive clearance tactics to displace the roof)
  • Game Plan Your Extrications by Desmond Fulton (The IS-SAVED acronym offers an easy-to-remember plan for the extrication scene)
  • Episode 274: X-Trication Radio by David Dalrymple (David Dalrymple hosts X-Trication Radio once a month on Fire Engineering’s Blog Talk Radio channel. Make sure you listen when you have the chance. All the previous episodes are available on Fire Engineering’s channel. You can even stream past episodes thru your car radio. I caught up on a couple of episodes I missed during my drive to FDIC. There’s no place that you cannot turn into a training place!)

Multi-Door Pickup Truck Side Removal

No comments

Make sure you read David Dalrymple’s article titled Multi-Door Pickup Truck Side Removal.  But what is different?  Isn’t just a truck with four doors?  Kind of…….. the vehicle has no B post but the doors are extremely difficult to remove.   Make sure you check it out, based on the location and vehicles I bet this is in Dave’s DVD series available at PennWell Books.  I’ll check with Dave and see if it is.

The key to remove the doors is to start at the top of the small door with the top latch.

Older hydraulic cutting devices may be insufficient

No comments

I found the image below on evsafetytraining.org and thought the comments that are listed on the Emergency Response Guide (ERG) were a little funny coming straight from a car maker.  Most of the time Ron Moore and David Dalrymple are the ones making the the statements about old cutters being out gunned with new steels!  Check out number 1.

  1. The areas mark points at which the roof can be disconnected. Modern high-performance cutters are required for cutting open the bodywork; older hydraulic cutting devices may be insufficient.  The high-performance cutters must be used by trained personnel, expertly and properly.
  2. Door locks
  3. Door hinges

No comments

Fire & Rescue is a magazine out of the United Kingdom published by the Hemming Group.  The magazine is published quarterly and is available for download and by free subscription with free worldwide delivery!  To subscribe, go to HemmingFire.com and feel out your information!  Your free subscription also provides unlimited access to FireandRescue.net!  You will recognize an author in the first quarter 2011 issue as none other than David Dalrymple from RoadwayRescue!  Dave writes about the different types of steels used in today’s body structure! So check it out below!  A quick note, if the wording is not clear on the flash version on the online magazine, just zoom in and the words will sharpen right up!

One thing that I really love about the Internet is how it connects the fire service all around the world!  Facebook is the main tool that many people think of when social networking is mentioned.  However there is another site, LinkedIn, which is a business-oriented social networking site that has been around since December 2002.  LinkedIn has a huge following in the fire service and is only getting bigger!  If you don’t have a LinkedIn account you really should sign up for one.  LinkedIn is a great professional networking tool with close to 100 million users.  Join the Fire & Rescue Magazine group on Linkedin and Facebook!  Well, like the Fire & Rescue Magazine page on Facebook! 

Also, if you haven’t checked out the BoronExtrication.com page on Facebook, please do!

Extrication DVD Filming in Ford Motor’s Backyard!

1 comment

One thing that I have learned is the Fire Service is a small world.  Last week, David Dalrymple of Roadway Rescue was in Dearborn, Michigan filming part of a new 3 DVD educational series on vehicle technology & rescue for Pennwell.   I received an email from Dave back in July about my site and he mentioned that he would be in town filming.  I went down and met Dave and watched his crew make mincemeat out of a Ford Transit Connect.  They cut up a bunch of Ford brand vehicles that included the Taurus, Escape Hybrid, Fusion Hybrid, and many more. There was also a Holmatro Tool Rep there who had a new ram that is not out on the market yet, and of course I snapped a picture!  Dave had some good comments about the ram and hopefully we will get to see it in action in the DVD. So make sure you keep an eye out for the DVD series.
