WARS Members in Action
Page 1


     Since our members are always focused on the call they are responding to, it is usually difficult to acquire action shots of these men and women at work. However, below we have been able to capture several pictures from training incidents. The training depicted is specifically designed to teach members how to handle situations where people become entrapped in vehicles as a result of a motor vehicle accident (MVA). Squad 505 is an integral part of these extrications, as can be depicted in several scenes.  The extrication demo depicted here was done as part of EMS week in 1996.  It demonstrated various means of gaining access to an entrapped patient after a car accident, such as by opening or removing the doors in various ways and by rolling the roof back.  Among the WARS members present were senior extricators Gary Conley and Todd Lucas.
