Members of the Northville Township Fire Department recently participated in two extrication exercises designed to help remove victims trapped in vehicles. The first exercise provided the firefighters hands-on training in preparing vehicle stabilization to help remove victims. The second exercise required a little creativity, as the firefighters did not have a vehicle on-site to use for training, so they improvised using other equipment to simulate use of extradition techniques and procedures. The training will transfer to many situations where pressure and precision are vital, fire officials said.
