Vehicle Rescue and Extrication: Principles and Practice, (Revised) Second Edition

Vehicle Rescue and Extrication: Principles and Practice is a Jones and Bartlett (J&B) Public Safety Group manual, a revised second edition, and SkillsTrain imports and distributes it locally as part of the Action Training Systems (ATS) rescue instructor-resources range. It sits alongside the separate Vehicle Extrication Levels I & II title from the same publisher, both built as reference texts for extrication training rather than as the video course itself.

The manual correlates to ATS's ten-title Vehicle Extrication video series, which works through Incident Overview, Stabilization, Hazard Control and Safety, Initial Procedures, Door and Sidewall Procedures, Roof and Trunk Procedures, Interior Procedures, Hybrid and Electric Vehicles, Advanced Steel, and Hand Tools Only, all relevant to NFPA 1006, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard for technical rescuer professional qualifications.

ATS lists Vehicle Rescue and Extrication and Vehicle Extrication Levels I & II as two separate products from the same publisher, and the exact content difference between them is not detailed in SkillsTrain's research files, so a department choosing between the two should confirm directly with the publisher or SkillsTrain which fits its programme.

SkillsTrain's role is to bring the current edition to Africa, not to write or accredit it. Who it is for: services wanting a vehicle rescue and extrication reference text alongside the ATS video series.
