[♪♪♪]
So we're heading out to do a training scenario.
We're taking out one of the junior guys, Gord,
and some of the senior guys,
myself, Ken, and Scott.
We're going to use the airbags
to actually flip the semi off of the car,
and we're going to use the Tundras
to tow the airbags out there,
and to actually winch out the vehicle
from underneath the semi-trailer.
At that point,
we're going to have the fire department there,
with the Jaws of Life,
and they're going to cut the victim out,
and, hopefully,
we get the victim to the hospital,
packaged within the first hour.
We call that hour "The Golden Hour,"
and that's where the victim
is going to have his best chance of survival.
You on the radio, Gord?
Yeah, Jamie. Go ahead.
We have a scenario
where a tractor-trailer's flipped over,
we have a car underneath, where the person's trapped.
Do you think you can handle it?
Yeah. 10-4.
We've got our veterans, Ken and Scott, here,
and we have our young guy, Gord.
So, we're going to work together as a team,
and with the fire department,
to extricate this victim.
And Scotty's done a really good job
of securing the trailer
so the vehicle won't crush him any further.
The fire department's on the way to do the extrication.
Let's get the airbags out
and lift the loaded trailer off him.
Gord, bring the airbags in position.
It's showtime,
so everybody's got to be on their game here,
and we've all got to work together in synch
to make this happen.
Okay, as you can see,
we've got all the equipment in place here,
and what we're going to do now
is push the air cushions underneath the trailer,
inflate them,
and take the loaded trailer weight
off of the victim.
Whoa, Scotty! Hold up!
[Scotty]: That's the load shifting, Jamie.
[Jamie]: Okay, come on in here, guys.
Let's get that bag under there quick.
We want to make sure we get the victim out
before a wall collapses.
Grab a side, Gord.
Okay, so what we're going to do now
is place a second airbag underneath the trailer
to support the wall.
We don't want the wall to break open
and product to come out and possibly hurt the victim.
So, hey, whoa, whoa! Hold it.
Hold it a minute there.
So, this is why we do the training sessions, Gord.
We don't want
any part of your body underneath the trailer,
'cause when you're under here,
the wall could break open,
and you could be, you know, injured or killed.
All right, guys, you ready to go?
-Yeah. -Okay.
Well, Gord, pull that-- pull that out a bit, okay?
You're going to watch yours, too?
[Gord]: Oh, yeah.
So, we're almost at the point here
where the car is free of the trailer,
we've lifted the trailer up,
and fire rescue is going to come in right now
and take charge and take care of the victim.
You guys ready to go?
I've got it stabilized now.
Vehicle stabilized?
Yeah.
You have it all stable for us?
Yeah, it's all stabilized now.
What's the first thing that happens now?
We need to do some spinal immobilizations for him
with this type of an impact and injury he has.
Okay.
We'll put a collar on him,
and talk to him to see if anything is bothering him,
and then we'll take the door out.
So the whole time you're talking to the victim,
and, you know, finding out if they're okay?
Yeah.
Reassuring him,
seeing where he's hurting, where he isn't.
Okay. So they've done that,
and now the Jaws come into play.
Now the Jaws come into play, for sure.
So you're going to use the spine board?
We'll put a spine board underneath him,
support his neck.
Take him out. BCES just arrived.
Okay. So the ambulance is here now.
Yeah.
And they're waiting for the victim.
Yeah. I'll just help them do this.
Okay, I got the back end here, boys.
Fire Rescue has extricated the victim now,
and he's on the way to the hospital.
We got the job done all within The Golden Hour,
and they've turned the scene over to us
for the recovery portion of this deal.
So, right now, what we're going to do
is winch this wreck out with the Tundra,
get it from underneath the trailer,
and continue with the recovery.
I'm proud of my guys.
Veterans Ken and Scott sharpened their skills,
Gord learned a few new tricks,
and my Tundras did exactly what I needed them to do.
We got the job done all within The Golden Hour.
I'm looking forward to this upcoming season.
We'll see you this winter on The Highway Thru Hell.
