Firefighters arrive at the scene where a person has been run over and is trapped beneath a car. The vehicle must be lifted using airbags to free the patient safely. The crew must assess the situation, stabilise the car, and use airbag systems to carefully lift the vehicle without causing further harm to the patient. | ||

| Dynamic Events | ||
Family Arrives at the Scene During the rescue, family members of the trapped occupant arrive unexpectedly at the scene, distressed and attempting to approach the vehicle. The crew must coordinate with police or support personnel to safely manage the family, keeping them at a distance while continuing the extrication without distractions. Vehicle Shifts During Extrication Despite stabilisation efforts, the vehicle unexpectedly shifts due to uneven ground or inadequate stabilisation, endangering both the crew and the trapped occupant. The team must quickly reassess and secure the vehicle before continuing the rescue. | ||
