CAUTION:Rescue should not be attempted byindividuals who have not been formally

trained

NFPA regulation 1006 and 1670state that all "rescuers" must have

medical training to perform anytechnical rescue operation,including cutting the vehicle itself

during an extrication.

Therefore, in most all rescue

environments, whether it is an EMS

Department or Fire Department that

runs the rescue, the actual rescuers

who cut the vehicle and run theextrication scene or perform any

rescue such as rope, low angle, etc,

are Medical First Responders,Emergency Medical Technicians, or

Paramedics, as most every rescue has

a patient involved.
