Are you prepared for the ultimate test? How many does it take to rescue just one down firefighter? Do you have RIT assignments? Can you really get them AI? It’s harder than you think. Theory must be TESTED!!!
Have you trained on all the possibilites of a dash removal? It’s about removing the dash, not how you do it. The ram push/raise is not the only way.
What chains do you have? How do you store them? What are there capabilities? How long are they? How do you use them with come-a-long/high-lift jack? Do you carry standard binder chains?
- What tools does the initial RIT TEAM/COMPANY need? What is the Primary J O B?
Amazing what one Guy can do with the proper training, attitude, and proper equipment in hand. How can anyone not want to be the best and focus on always getting better? We should all be asking what if this happened? What would I/we do? What tools would we need? How can we be more prepared? What is your tool of chose and does it change based on building and/or call?

Outstanding!
We just received the first of our new line of Squad/Engines, yup does both purposes. We made sure that we had different married tools mounted together all over the SQE. It does make a difference for us…. We cover an interstate and are the second due company in our district for any special operations (VES – RIT – Extrications). Our crew will grab a different set depending on the call and our directives for that call….so yes to all questions. We strive to be the best we can be.
An impressive share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a friend who had been doing

lol. So let me reword this…. Thanks for the meal!!
But yeah, thanks for spending some time to talk about this subject here on your site.
