CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Special Rescue Operations firefighters with NASA Fire Rescue Services in the Protective Services Office at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida practice vehicle extrication training at an auto salvage yard near the center. A firefighter uses a special hydraulic tool to cut through a section of the car to remove the roof, while other firefighters clear the windows and prepare to use the Jaws of Life to simulate the rescue of a trapped and injured person. Other rescue equipment being used includes axes and tools to punch through and clear away windshields and windows. Kennedy’s firefighters recently achieved Pro Board Certification in aerial fire truck operations. With the completion of vehicle extrication and Jaws of Life training, the Protective Services Office is one step closer to achieving certification in vehicle machinery extrication. Kennedy’s firefighters are with G4S Government Solutions Inc., on the Kennedy Protective Services Contract. Photo credit: NASA/Daniel Casper KSC-2014-1347

Summary

U.S. Air Force firefighters from the 100th Civil Engineer Squadron Fire Department demonstrate how they cut up a car to remove a casualty in a simulated road traffic collision on RAF Mildenhall, England, Oct. 11, 2018. Firefighters used a variety of equipment, including the Jaws of Life, to safely take apart the vehicle and rescue the simulated casualty. This was one of several demonstrations given by the firefighters during Fire Prevention Week and this year’s theme was “Look, Listen, Learn.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Karen Abeyasekere)
