Rescue and extrication of people
Rescue and extrication of people
Rescue and extrication services involve a timely and professional response. Trained staff members at Fire Protect are quickly mobilised via special equipment to effectively manage any situation, from rapid assessment to the precise application of extrication and rescue techniques.
We undertake rescue of trapped people following an accident either at work (accident on a construction site) or at a car race as well as proactively, hiring staff members with the necessary first aid knowledge in case of need.
We adhere to the highest safety standards, prioritising the rescue of people and reducing the risks of further injury.
Rescuing and extricating people from road accidents
While it is well known that road accidents can cause significant personal injury, it is extremely important to understand the risks associated with such incidents, particularly the risk of passengers being trapped inside damaged vehicles.
After a crash, the structural integrity of the vehicle can be compromised, making it difficult to extricate passengers without assistance. This highlights the importance of a well-coordinated emergency response. Trained staff members at Fire Protect can carry out passenger rescue and extrication following a road traffic accident.

The importance of early intervention
During road accidents, early intervention is essential to minimise injuries and save lives.
The application of first aid techniques by our trained staff members is an important part of this process. Rapid assessment and management of the situation can prevent further injury and improve the prospects for recovery. This includes carefully extricating people from the wreckage of the accident.
Equipment used for extrication and rescue
Our team is equipped with specialized extrication tools intended to guarantee the safety of the passengers, such as the hydraulic cutter which is designed to cut through the metal frame of vehicles.
We also use other extrication tools such as expanders and plungers. These hydraulic tools are used to open, cut or push open the structures of vehicles, creating passageways for the safe evacuation of passengers.
Finally, we use methods that prioritize the physical safety of the passengers, reducing the risk of additional harm during the extrication process.
