	Introduction
Firefighters respond to an MVA where a car is on its wheels, but all doors are blocked or damaged, leaving the boot as the only access point. The crew must tunnel through the boot to reach the driver’s seat and safely extricate the patient. This scenario requires innovative thinking, careful tool use, and patient management.
	Objective(s)
To train firefighters in tunnelling techniques for patient extrication, focusing on creating access through unconventional entry points when doors are not available.
	Learning Objectives
Stabilise the vehicle and assess structural integrity before attempting entry. Use cutting tools to create a tunnel from the boot through to the driver’s seat, ensuring safe access for the crew. Maintain patient care throughout the extrication process, coordinating with paramedics. Practice effective communication and teamwork to ensure a smooth operation in challenging conditions.
	Dynamic Events
Airbag Deploys During Extrication A previously undetected airbag in the vehicle suddenly deploys while a crew member is inside or near the vehicle. The team must reassess the situation, ensure no one is injured by the airbag, and take steps to prevent further deployment of other airbags. Heat Stress Due to Tight PPE A firefighter begins to experience symptoms of heat stress. The tight-fitting clothes restrict air circulation, leading to overheating and dehydration. The crew must take immediate action to cool down the firefighter and rotate tasks to prevent further heat-related injuries. Load 2 different events
	Debrief
Conduct a review at the end of the scenario. Discuss “What went well” and “What could be improved”. Be constructive and supportive – it’s not about blame, it’s about building people up and improving their skills.
