Extrication from a single seat plane: two firefighters from Indiana tell their story HolmatroRescue 2022-09-19 | In this interview with Madison Industries founder and CEO Larry Gies, two firefighters from the Nineveh Township in Indiana talk about an extraordinary extrication they performed in February of 2022. After a single seat plane had crashed near a small landing strip in their township, they extricated the pilot from the plane wreck, after having to walk 275 metres (or 300 yards) across muddy terrain. Thanks to the battery powered Holmatro Pentheon Series tools, they were able to perform the extrication in twelve minutes, after which the pilot was transported to the hospital.You can also read the story of how they did it on our blog:holmatro.com/en/rescue/blog/case-study-extrication-single-seat-aircraft

This team was awarded "Best Overall Team" by the UKRO assessors. In this scenario, we saw one car on its side, blocking the entrance to a car upside down, with one casualty inside. The team used the spreader to relocate the vehicle on its side, which got them a lot of recognition from the assessors and from our scenario builders, as this was performed very well. This allowed them more space to work on this side of the vehicle, removing the doors and then the B-pillar. Afterwards, the team got the victim out horizontally. The assessors complimented the team for being very casualty centered, with an incident commander communicating very clearly, and a lot of simultaneous action from all team members.00:00 - Team video00:46 - Safety and scene assessment01:19 - Stabilization and initial access03:50 - Glass management06:06 - Vehicle relocation08:20 - Space creation17:17 - Full Access18:11 - Extrication of the casualty20:28 - Final Whistle20:48 - Interview with incident commander22:29 - Interview with technical team24:03 - Interview with medic

The upside down car contained one entrapped person. After stabilizing the vehicles, the team went for the so-called tunneling technique, gaining access by removing the back door of the car with a spreader.

They did this using both the spreader and the ram, removing head rests with the new cordless Mini Cutter CCU10. The team made good progress during their run-off, but needed a bit more time to get the casualty out.
