I took a class several years ago on basic vehicle extrication (without hurst tools and the like) and the extrication was done with hand tools.
My department has no "jaws of life", or other traditional extrication tools, (port-a-power). We do, however, have a multitude of hand tools, including reciprocating saws, (one of those realy cool DeWalt battery powered ones) hack saws and mechanics tools.
We have no cribbing, yet. But I'm positive that we can handle most basic scenarios.
If you know of any literature that may help me (I'm teaching a class) refresh my memory and perhaps introduce some new techniques, I would be most grateful.
Thanks a bunch.
