Stabilization Photo

Vehicle stabilization is an art that many neglect or do a half-assed job at.  Don't be that guy(or gal)! Vehicles land where they want after a crash, regardless of how convenient it may or may not be for us.  Nonetheless we must stabilize the vehicle to facilitate patient removal.  As you approach an accident scene in the Rescue or Squad Company, take a moment to find the most tactically advantageous positioning for the rig.  Consider stabilization, tool, and lighting needs while doing this.  Also take a look at the surrounding area and look for objects that may be used to assist in vehicle stabilization.
