Introduction

A vehicle has rolled over, landing upside down on a rural road. The driver is conscious but unable to exit the vehicle. The crew must stabilise the overturned vehicle, carefully access the patient, and safely extract them without causing further injury. Cones can be used to simulate road hazards or uneven terrain, and the crew will practice proper stabilisation, glass management, and patient handling techniques. Full PPE, stabilisation tools, and hydraulic cutting tools will be required​.

Objective(s)

To stabilise an overturned vehicle and safely extricate the driver trapped inside.

Learning Objectives

Use stabilisation equipment to secure an overturned vehicle.
Safely manage vehicle glass and debris to create a clear and safe pathway for patient removal.
Operate cutting tools to gain access to the trapped driver.
Coordinate the extrication with the medical team to ensure the patient’s safety and minimise further injury.

Dynamic Events

Slip and Fall Resulting in Back Pain

While navigating a wet unstable surface, a firefighter slips and falls, injuring their back. The team must assess the severity of the injury and safely remove the firefighter from the hazard zone. Additional team members may need to assist with lifting or carrying the injured firefighter, while ensuring the ongoing firefighting operations remain covered.

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.
