Dublin Fire Brigade Extrication and Trauma Team

We managed to stay undercover and out of the rain this week 🌧️☔🌧️☔🌧️☔

We looked at external vehicle entrapment scenarios and techniques to deal with the same.
We used Spreaders and Ram in various locations on the vehicles to lift and free the entrapments. We found a few pros and cons and plenty of learning points.

We also used struts in various locations and techniques. These along with ratchet straps, chocks, blocks, wedges and step chocks were also in use.

First training session of 2026, back to basics 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
