Rollover Accident: Vehicle Extrication Roof Removal with Jaws of Life | Vancouver Fire Department 

These rescue crews know their stuff and thanks to all!

Prayers for all fire fighters, EMS AND FIRST RESPONDERS, and for the injured.

That dam PASS alarm on the air pack. That should of been reset. The other thing that I’m not impressed with is the way they were throwing the personal belongings out of the Car. The victims are going through a lot being injured and trapped. And having belongings damaged by the firefighters. I’m a firefighter with 50 yrs of service and been to a lot of MVIs .

It's amazing to see how hard they work and how skilled they are at rescuing the victims of these horrific accidents. We truly have to give the First responders and Firemen their just dues !! These ARE our HEROS at their best !! Thank you to all these wonderful men and women for what you do for all of us !! May HEAVENLY FATHER always bless you and keep you safe !!❤❤❤

Go bless each and everyone involved in this rescue..No 2 accidents are the same.. yet they all work togeather like the professionals they are.. Ya'll are so appreciated more than credit is given..Thank you all for your service..🥰

Vancouver Fire Rescue did an outstanding job of extricating both occupants of the vehicle. Firefighters are trained as first responders. Why were the BC Ambulance Paramedics on scene not allowed to do a triage assessment of the two injured men? They could have suspected neck and spinal injuries. Neck collars were not applied. I also saw a firefighter doing an assessment of one patient and asking questions. This should be the job of the paramedic(s) on scene.

Always that one rookie who leaves their pack on

These guys are heroes.

Didn't the SUV have a sunroof?

Damn air pack. Also, nice way to conserve the internal property lol hahaha TV won't work now lol but good job men. We all can learn from one another

God bless our hero's who protect serve & save lives!🙏 I love & appreciate you all❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Good job but no reason to throw down that new tv :(

How is there a pack on during an extrication

Not to nit pick but they weren't very respectful to the persons belongings. They were just carelessly tossing his things, like an expensive tv, on to the ground.

FFS, if that was a rally, we'd have it straight back on its wheels and off down the road again.

Who’s f*cking pack

They did a good job pulling the driver and passenger out of the vehicle, now they need to work on respectinv the property of those they rescue!

3S,simple safe speed ?

The Uchida of this is great and you have been 9th through it 👏

That was the 1st extraction I've seen where the entire roof of the vehicle was removed!! Caught a glimpse of the corner w/the fence, wonder if that was partially responsible?? The homeowners came out to watch it all. The least they could have done was clap for the rescuers. It's a really tough , at times dangerous job, & they put their heart & soul into saving lives!! Who knows, 1 day 1 of them just might need 1 of these dedicated people!!!

Oh sick I always wanted a convertible 😃

Fire departments have to start utilizing the towing industry, incorporate them into their rescue practices. The VFD did an excellent job of securing and cutting the roof open on that Tahoe. It looked to have taken about 6-7 minutes to gain entrance. Now I was not there so I can not say positively, however, it would have taken approx 3 minutes for a properly trained tow-op to roll that vehicle very gently onto it's wheels with a twin line boom. And the truck would have only had to be a one ton tow truck. The FD could then cut the doors off (if needed) which didn't appear to be damaged and could have simply been opened. In some of the rural counties in Alberta, some of the FD's have started to work along side some of the towing companies and have witnessed first hand at just how useful they can be. (They all, RCMP, FD, EMS and tow do all work together very well but some of the FD's have started doing rescue/recovery with the help of tow-op's). It is something for them to think about. Great job though by the VFD.

Why didn't they just pull the car back to the upright position????

Why don't they just flip the car or truck over???

This is real professional team work against time

Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow Horrible Car Crashes For Real From Edinburg Texas

Das ist doch idiotisch. Wieso wird das Fahrzeug nicht vorsichtig wieder auf die Räder gestellt?😰😰😰😰👎🏼👎🏼 Viele Grüße aus Germany

Nice use of the 0150 cutters. Most people don't understand the process of vehicle extrication. It's literally moving the vehicle away from the victim(s). Can be frustrating to watch because it takes some time. Had a triple fatal accident in Okinawa, involving teenagers, and it took us nearly two hours to extricate the only survivor. He lost an arm and a leg but lived to tell his friends about the hazards of drinking and driving. Though there was nothing I could do about the kids killed on impact I see that scene every few days and wonder if there was anything else I/we could have done. My only suggestion is that one of the firefighters could have been bracing the driver (victim) so he didn't have to keep himself upright during the process.

So none of yall hear that pass device going off?

They remind me of construction workers doing a very nasty and serious kind of job. They work so hard.

That makes me sad seeing all their stuff including a suitcase and new TV. We’re they moving or someone got picked up at the airport…still sad they got into a horrible accident.

平安

I get it that the passengers could have a spinal injury, but it seems they would be able to tell that right away. Roll the vehicle back on it's wheels and get the people out faster. This seems too slow to help them.

I hope they got a refund on that tv

Why can’t someone make a jaws of life close way faster. These types of accidents are life or death and the faster they remove the ones in need matters greatly.

هذا غباء.لماذا لايتم.إعادة.المركبة على.عجلاتها.ثم فتح باب.السائق.لأستخراجه

that shit is mad slow could they have not just rolled him back over and opened the door lmao, what is the deal with all the people there too you don’t need that many people for something so simple

I'm 2 years late to this but, I really don't comprehend why morbid lookyloos always gotta hang around and watch. It's like people are just waiting to see blood n guts and dead bodies or something. Or are they really that interested in how the firefighters do their jobs?! I've never had a desire to hang around crash scenes, or buildings on fire, or whatever else tragedy that happens. Lookyloos are plain freakin morbid in my opinion. 😒

This is a definition of misjudged situation on all fronts - number of firetrucks on site is too high - what if they need to be somewhere important? No gas leak, no visible threat to drivers life - the car should have been flipped in controled manner and drivers door easily opened then. Why cutting it like this & taking that long to do it?!

Why not roll car back over? Would have been alot easier to get the victims out !!!
