HEAVY RESCUE? You can say you’re on a “Heavy Rescue” all you want.
If you don't have the equipment, the proper training and the confidence to do something like this then you're kidding yourself and the people you swore to serve. #heavyrescue #paratech #firefigher
Does your FD have a plan to deal with extremely dangerous Trench Rescues?
1. Train your crews to mitigate incidents.
2. Have an agreement with a regional team to respond with trained experts.
Not doing at least the second option is gross negligence.
Brave work by @Toronto_Fire @TPFFA who risked their lives rescuing two patients from this unstable #trenchrescue
Also, nice to have command staff that understands the scope of this operation.

The Tension/Compression (T/C) shore design is ideal for end wall or excavation protection in situations where an opposing wall is out of reach or unsuitable . Takes about 10-15 minutes after long wall shoring. @Paratech_Inc #trenchrescue #firefighter #technicalrescue
This starts the second you show up. Scrambling for gear for a run-it’s a shit show. It’s your family’s air-make sure it’s well in the green. “Nothing showing” has started many NIOSH reports-bring the TIC, bring your tools, clip your waist strap. #complacencykills #expectfire
It was an honor and a privilege for SOCC to deliver this course for a fourth time to such an amazing group of people.
Our Special Operations Teams completed 9 days of Trench Rescue training by @SOCC_Corp in active soil conditions. Utilizing shoring techniques our teams are trained to perform rescues in these high risk/low frequency events. Thanks to Kynock Resources for the training grounds.

Trench Technician course at Vaughan Fire. Extensive classroom theory followed by REAL collapses with active soil conditions, including a difficult “Repair Hole” with cross shoring. Difficult patient access and removal. @ff4vaughan @VaughanFire & @RHFES

EV’S——HEAVY, FAST, LOW CENTER OF GRAVITY.
Structural Collapse runs are going to continue to go up in numbers!!
Crumple zones in other cars and are no match either. #vehiclerescue #autoextrication #firefighter #paramedic #flightparamedic #universityofnebraska @Paratech_Inc – at Toronto, Ontario
#1 Keep your patients WARM! Rescue Specialists work closely with Paramedics so we have to have an understanding of good patient care in Trauma.

“DIAMOND of DEATH” replaces “Lethal Triad of Trauma” by adding CALCIUM to resuscitation.
USAR Teams & Rescuers that encounter Prolonged Extrication …..that’s ALL OF US! need to be aware of all of these factors.
Ca+ is vital in clotting! #firefighters #paramedics #USAR
Roof removal when it unnecessary is a very amateur point of focus. Taking the roof/removing glass that doesn’t need to be is a hallmark of training on cars without a dent in them (it exposes patients to cold, which kills trauma patients). Use rams, cut the seats, get them moving – at Toronto, Ontario

People get trapped underneath busses, especially in the winter due to shorter daylight. High Pressure Airbag lift(s) for heavy vehicle entrapments. Three lifts 1) Captured Suspension lift from frame 2) At tow points 3) Axel lift (not shown). #heavyrescue #firefighter – at Toronto, Ontario
Trench Rescue Tactical Worksheets. High Risk/Low Frequency incidents are easier handled utilizing these. Requesting the correct resources early will happen when you follow these. DM for PDF Version. #firefighter #Feuerwehr #technicalrescue #trenchrescue – at Toronto, Ontario

Why should we turn the TIC on while en-route to the call?
This video was shared with us by a dear friend, a fellow instructor, and an awesome individual.
He stated that many can learn from his mistakes. I am humbled and thankful for such individuals who share these lessons for us all to learn from.
A fire service TIC may turn on quickly; ranging anywhere from 5 seconds to as long as 30 seconds.
However, it doesn't mean its ready to use.
All fire service TICs go through a start up process during which the device calibrates itself. This is known as flat field correction. On average, they require 30 seconds after start up before they are truly ready for use.
You may have noticed the following upon powering the device on:
* A clicking sound.
* The screen freezing intermittently.
* Or the logo stays on for a while (as shown in this video).
The device requires this intial time to be truly ready for work. Please ensure that your firefighters power up their device while enroute to the call and prior to exiting the fire apparatus so when they are assigned to complete a task that the device will benefit them and not hinder their efforts.
Stay Intelligently Aggressive!
