Addison County Regional Fire School

This course deals with the basic construction of cars, vans and pick-up trucks and how to safely take them apart using hand tools and some small power tools – not hydraulics. Airbags, seat belt pre-tensioners, hardened steels and other aspects of modern vehicles are discussed along with a basic discussion of hybrid vehicles. Field work will consist of proper stabilization, window, door and roof removal techniques, and seat, steering wheel and dash displacements. The majority of vehicles will be on their wheels for this class. This is a full weekend 2-day course, both Saturday and Sunday. Full turnout gear, NO SCBA, is required.
