Real-World, Street-Smart Extrication – Monday and Tuesday, April 18-19 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.

Lead Instructor: Special Operations Lieutenant Isaac Frazier, St. Johns County (FL) Fire Rescue/Tactical AdvantageTraining

Many times, the most important aspects of extrication are overlooked. Many departments get fixated on the advanced portions of extrication while the extrications skills that are most commonly used nationwide are misunderstood and, therefore, lack effectiveness. This program hits many important portions of vehicle extrication–vehicle on side, side outs to dash displacements, objects on a vehicle, steering wheel displacement/de-ringing, seat notching, guardrails, and much more. When we understand the “whys” of each method, we can understand the “hows” when Plan A doesn’t work. ALL LEVELS
