Limited Access Interstate Extrication

Prepare for real-world rescue scenarios involving:

• Highway work zones
• Limited apparatus access
• Vehicle stabilization
• Patient care under challenging conditions
• Multi-agency coordination

Registration information will be announced soon.

Stay tuned!

When Help Can’t Get There: Limited Access Interstate Extrication

Can your crew rescue trapped victims when your apparatus can’t reach the scene?

Major construction along Interstate 95 has created one of the biggest challenges facing area first responders—limited access to crashes. Narrowed travel lanes often prevent fire apparatus, rescue trucks, and ambulances from reaching the incident, forcing responders to carry equipment long distances before patient care and extrication can even begin.

This hands-on, scenario-based course places students in a realistic, high-stress incident involving a passenger bus and an automobile with multiple trapped occupants. The crash occurs on a bridge where side access is impossible, and emergency vehicles are restricted to stopping approximately 100 feet from the wreckage. Once law enforcement has secured the roadway, emergency vehicles may be allowed to enter against the normal flow of traffic, but access remains severely limited.

Students will be challenged to:

• Deploy rescue equipment from a remote staging area.
• Manage patient care while working with limited apparatus access.
• Perform vehicle stabilization and extrication under confined conditions.
• Coordinate operations between fire, EMS, law enforcement, and towing resources.
• Adapt traditional rescue techniques to overcome real-world highway construction obstacles.
• Improve communication, teamwork, and incident command during complex interstate emergencies.

This course is designed to prepare firefighters, rescue personnel, and EMS providers for the growing number of crashes occurring in active interstate construction zones where every second counts and traditional response methods may no longer work.

Train for the conditions you are responding to today—not the highways of yesterday.
