As a physician who has worked in many settings ranging from large city teaching hospitals to rural and remote emergency departments over the last few decades, I have nothing but respect for our first responders. I can speak for my medical colleagues when I say that we regard our police officers, paramedics and firefighters, whose paths we cross in the emergency department, as colleagues and comrades.

In my 2019 two-part series on exposing vehicle weakness, I touched on ultra-high strength steels and some of the ways we can manipulate our way around them altogether. But, like anything in life, we can’t always avoid the hard road. Sometimes you just have to meet something head on. So, what is our plan when we deal with the newer model vehicles that are quickly becoming regulars on our accident scenes? Sooner or later we have to go through the wall and not always around it. Ultra-high strength steel is becoming more prevalent all over new vehicles and we can’t simply turn a blind eye or revert to plan B. While trying many different approaches I found some success, but never consistent enough to truly make a solid conclusion on what worked best. It was until I met up and trained with one of our industry experts, Jason Defosse from Code4 Fire & Rescue, who showed me a tried and proven method for moving, cutting and manipulating these super metals.
