2 DAY COURSE

The School Bus Extrication course starts with a classroom session covering bus types, basic structure and construction of buses, areas to be covered in extrication, proper tools to be used, basic mass casualty control and usually a walk-through of some area buses available.  Field work consists of extrication techniques of buses both on their wheels and on their sides. This is a full weekend 2 day course, both Saturday and Sunday.  If done in conjunction with an EMS class, the afternoon of the second day can be a mass casualty extrication and drill scene. 

Full turnout gear, NOT SCBA, is required.

This 1 day course allows students to be instructed on methods they can use to disentangle victims from a variety of situations. Basic techniques for removing rings are addressed. Evolutions progress in complexity to include auger entrapments, impalements (fencing/inside vehicles), persons trapped under vehicles, torch operations, as well as other “tips & tricks” learned from real-world experiences. The Classroom and Practical Skills portion of the program focus on finding the least complicated method of performing such rescues rather than "overthinking" the given situation.
