A vehicle rescue, such as an accident with entrapment, is the type of call with true life or death hanging in the balance. Your focus is getting to the incident and freeing the victim. However, there are risks associated with working on the highway, being exposed to hazardous materials and having limited resources available. In addition, there is little time and limited resources available to have a safety officer at a vehicle entrapment which then places more responsibility on the individual firefighter to be aware of their situation.
