Station 13 is located in the northwest part of the city. There are two major
thighways they respond to motor vehicle accidents on. Station 13 is
,equipped with a compliment of hydraulic extrication equipment. If the
1,600 vehicle is on it's side or upside down extrication cannot begin until the
j vehicle is stabilized. Currently the closest fire company with that
equipment is about 20 minutes from this area. Having this system will
allow for quick, safe access to trapped patients. This is a tensioned
buttress system.
Station 23 carves Holmatrol extrication tools used on motor vehicle
jaccidents. One of the life saving maneuvers performed by these tools is
a, "dashboard roll" used when the car dash is pushed into the lap of the
518 patient. The Ram support sits on the door jam and gives a firm support to
use the rescue tools. This speeds up the extraction time by allowing one
place to support the tool. Having the correct tools is vital to the timely and
safe removal of the patient

- Station 23 carries Holmatrol extrication tools used on motor vehicl e
accidents. These step chocks would be used in stabilizing vehicles that

'when extricating a patient from an MVA before extraction can begin.
