Jefferson Fire & Safety's extrication training courses are led by passionate people who have years of experience, using the tools and techniques they teach. They consistently stay up to date on the latest trends and research in the extrication world and bring all of it to you in these patient centric focused courses.
Our courses cover multiple scenarios from first arriving at a scene through extrication of the patient, and are based on real-world incidents from the field. With hand tools as well as power tools, we focus on working smarter not harder. We want the tools to work better for you. Our team takes the time to explain and discuss why the methods work effectively and efficiently, as well as opportunities for students to ask questions.
Students will leave our extrication courses with knowledge of modern vehicle construction and anatomy, including Electric, Hybrids, and Internal Combustion Engine vehicles. Become a more confident operator, and learn how to make space to ensure the best access to the patient(s), to provide the best possible outcomes.
