Safe And Fast Extrication is a non-profit organization dedicated to saving lives and reducing the suffering of victims by bringing qualified, trained and certified rescue personnel to the scene of a vehicle collision.
What is SAFE AND
FAST EXTRICATION?
|
 | *The National Curriculum for Emergency Medical Technicians does not include vehicle extrication training. |
| *First Responders are not required to take vehicle extrication training. |
| *Wisconsin Administrative Code requires that all new firefighters be trained to meet only the minimum standard of Firefighter Level 1, which does not require vehicle extrication training. |
By the end of 2003, fatal vehicle collisions reached an all-time five-year high with over 837 deaths. As a result of vehicle collisions in Wisconsin, it is estimated that someone is injured every 8.3 minutes, and an average of two people are killed every day. Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for children of every age from 6 to 14.
Saving lives needs to be a top priority! Working together, we can make saving lives a priority. Implementing a uniform state-of-the-art vehicle extrication-training program is imperative.
| *Develop an extrication curriculum that maintains pace with the rapid changes in vehicle safety and design. |
| *Implement a "Train the Trainer" certification program for rescuers and instructors. |
| *Provide the necessary research, skills and techniques to handle changes in vehicle design. |
