Vehicle Stabilization & Extrication






Electrocution Risk



Vehicle Stabilization





Utilize standard stabilization (cribbing) points, as shown above. Always be sure to connect to a structural member of the vehicle and avoid placing cribbing under high voltage cables, fuel lines, and other areas not normally considered acceptable


Extrication Equipment and Techniques

Standard extrication equipment can be utilized on this vehicle and normal techniques and department standard operating procedures and guides should be followed. There are no voltage cables or components in areas that are considered standard cut points. Extrication personnel should always visualize the area being cut to ensure no SRS or High Voltage components are compromised. When utilizing airbags during operations be sure that they are not placed under High Voltage lines or other hazardous areas such as gas lines.
