Extended operation at auto extrication, Catasauqua, PA 11/06/17

- At 2:50PM Monday afternoon, Lehigh County 9-1-1 transmitted a rescue box for the 300 block of 14th Street in the Borough of Catasauqua sending Rescue 2 and Engine 211.
Once on scene, the fire officer reported a car into a tree with heavy entrapment.
One person was in the car when it slid sideways into a tree heavily pinning the male in the car. With all the tools such as the Jaws of Life in-service and the complexity of the rescue, an additional rescue company from Whitehall was special-called.
Firefighters worked for almost an hour to free the driver. Paramedics worked on the patient as the firefighters cut the car apart piece by piece. The drivers legs were pinned under the dashboard.
I have been a firefighter for almost 8 years and im telling you one thing it is amazing how being apart of a brotherhood / sisterhood that cares about one another so much. I put my life in their hands every call we go on and they put their life in mine. But just being able to help someone either make it out of a fire or car crash or something as simple as calming someone down is the best feeling. Helping my community is why i do what i do and i love helping people. I am a volunteer and i wouldn't change a thing.

Thank you.
TYFYS you wing nut
May God Bless You and Keep You All Safe 🙏 Thank You for your bravery and sacrifices
Bless you!
I didn't realize I was literally holding my breath until the sheet was removed revealing the driver was alive... someone was watching over him that day! Btw - the video quality here is nothing short of phenomenal!
Thank you first responders for all that you do. From someone whose been in a car wreck few years back sadly no one bothered to call 911 for whatever reason but the person who hit us started yelling at my hubby and of course i threatened to hurt the person. now have to deal with spinal injuries for life cause of it. but thank you for all you do and keep us safe even during wildfires you are the frontline workers. I been thinking of going back to trying to do CERT for my local fire dept. although tough to come upon these wrecks its not a job for the weak hearted for sure. thank you.
The teamwork of this department is fantastic, great communication between members while maintaining focus on the patient.
being in a car smash is the most terrifying thing, you are just going along one minute as normal and the next second in a mangled mess in excruciating pain, having someone hold your hand like that saying comforting things is priceless, these people are amazing...
These guys are amazing. They worked together and got the job done. To hold the guy's hand without shame shows me that this is more than a job for these guys but more of a mission. Thank you. :)
God bless these fire men. They save lives. Everyone going to get their drivers license should have to watch this
Omg 9:58 firefighter holding the mans hand comforting him 😭🤕😇💚🌼
My heart goes out for those first responders and all the other ones.
Dad was Fire Fighter 29 years the stories, the legendary work of these guys is absolutely inspiring.
I've heard people say, "The car was wrapped around a tree." But I've never seen it until now. OMG thank God for the rescue crew. I hope the guy made a full recovery.
Lllllllllllllllnhi
I salute all the EMTs, firemen, paramedics and Police Officers! The Guardian Angels on earth to serve and protect us always! God Bless you all!
This person was lucky ,Great Job by fireman crew's,EMT ,Police, thank you all for your service,you don't get ENOUGH THANKS
Great extraction and teamwork. That driver was lucky.
Those jaws of life are pretty powerful tools....much respect to the first responders, police, fire dept and paramedics - you are a special breed.
Awesome filming!. Happy that the FireFighters let you film this, their fantastic peoples!
EMS and FFS deserve every penny and then some for what they do. I've never met any who werent 100% committed and kind hearted.
Passion4posh ; Those FFs were all fully volunteers! They don’t earn a penny . Just do it out of the kindness of there heart
@@OwneyMadden430 Amen to that.
Firefighters are truly hero’s they all deserve our respect!
And they all have more than earned it as well,time after time they have always earned the up most respect from everyone I think so also.
A huge thank you to rescue crews!
Once again, incredible footage. Great learning video. Hope guy makes a full recovery
everyone of them a caring gentle hero should be given anything they want forever
Great job firefighters from heaven!💕
Angels are in plane sight. Thank all of you for helping us in our need of times. May God bless you 💚🌼
great job!!shout out to all paramedics and the rest of your team!!

Nice work on a difficult rescue.
I am so grateful for men like these.
I hope and pray that this person survived
HURST… SHELBY, NC!!!! Damn proud of the engineering behind it!!!!
Police, Fire fighters and Para medic Are Our Hero,
Fire fighters and paramedics**, police are in no way hero’s.
@@funny3scene How are they not heroes? Who runs into active shooters?
Lawn Care lol, look at parkland. Apparently not the police.
@@funny3scene Yeah, look at that ONE incident. You incompetent bitch.
@@funny3scene An officer died while running into the Thousand Oaks bar shooting. How was he not a hero?
Que gran trabajo el de los bomberos y servicio de emergencia.
Outstanding job guys.
So many people helping, thank god they are their for him
I have the same car/same color, glad the guy made it 👍
Großartig gefilmt, sehr gute Qualität!
Great job guys..very.professional.....the driver is very lucky...awseome guys... Respect..
Amazing rescue.
I'm always amazed by how utility poles and trees make vehicles look like crushed soda cans.
those jaws of life are incredible cutting through that ultra high strength steel like it is butter. Folks don't realize how strong these uni-body cars are. The outer painted part of a car is for looks and not that strong but underneath is two, three and sometimes four layers of ultra high strength steel that will dull a drill bit in seconds.
I don't think there was much hss ln that heap, wish he had a Volvo, boron steel in those...
The requirement for a good rating in the pole test was raised substantially in 2012, every vehicle made after 2012 is a thousand times safer in this type of accident, also the small offset test was implemented in 2012 by the IIHS and pretty much every car made after 2015 has aced that test.
@@nickclark6001 I wish he'da been in a car 30 years older, that way we'd be sure he wouldn't kill anyone else driving like a jackass. You don't fuck a car up that badly driving like you should be driving.
The car looked pretty dang strong! Realize this video has been quite a while back, however, I have a ’19 Mustang convertible, have been driving for over 30 years, and drive defensively. Better safetly features on my car, too. I pray this young man made a full recovery quickly.
@@nickclark6001 Had a Volvo when my children were still in school. Safe, but not real fun to drive…sorry.
Do they give these people 'calm me down' meds in these situations? Me, I'd be screaming to high heaven and annoying everyone! First responders are AWESOME. Calm and professional.
Thank you God for this young man's life and l hope he makes a speedy recovery. Now the guy's and girls who do this job are God's Angel's. I was scared for a while has l could see his legs. His head appeared to be covered over. I thought he had gone. Oh l am so relieved. God Bless all involved
🙏💙🙏💜🙏💙🙏💜
Fantastic, clear footage!
Looks like some good practice..
Difficult rescue done well making decisions on the fly.
Good video. Prayers for the victim.

Fire fighters ROCK!
I pray that he recovered 🙏
My name is summer Ann genola and I will be praying for you and I hope that you get better and May God bless this family in Jesus name Aman
Is it me or some those firefighters young kids? Excellent job!
I love the little kids watching the firefighters be hero’s! Inspirational for them I hope!!!!!
They forgot to remove the headlights, engine, transmission, trunk lid, fuel tank, differential, wheels and license plates.. smh
I wonder how the gentleman is now? Hope he didn't have permanent injuries.
That driver was me, no lasting injuries. Very lucky.
These Guys should have their own Tuning Shop.....i already know the Slogan: "Get your own Convertible in less that 15 Minutes!"
Love you fire fighters
Seeing the fireman holding the driver's hand got to me. I hope the driver was ok.
These guys do such great work day in and day out. But if I had to point something out it would be two things. First, they spent a lot of time on a door that was about as far from the extraction as they could get. Two, on that door two guy stood there one using a pair of jaws and the other just standing there holding a pair. I hope that me saying that doesn't sound like a criticism but it did bug me a bit.
I believe one pair is cutters and the other is to pry apart.
Realy crisp video 📹 what type of camera? Great kvalety. Sorry fore my englich speling. Love from sweden.

@@newsworking , I felt like I was standing right there! This is the best rescue video that I have seen. How do you get such close access?
great job in taking her out
Only two hours, very quicky!
Thanks for all the comments. Only way I (average driver with no experiece) get to learn about your professional jobs is from the UA-cam crash videos. Fun to get opinions from different firemen. Bless all of you for your service and jobs well done.
I hope the driver is doing alright.
Great 👍🏻 Job 🙏🏻🇺🇸
With the victim’s legs pinned, they are probably trying to get him out in one piece. That could take time and care. But I don’t see why there was so much time and work on the passenger side.
Con la vida no sé juega 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Car wrapped around a pole. Very difficult extraction. When I was using the Jaws, the cutter was not strong enough to cut the car door hinges.
Hurst Jaws of Life ...a virtual tool box of extrication goodies !
Just out of curiosity, how would they be able to bust a back window of there is baby in the backseat in a rear face car seat? Is that what those big thick blanket type things are for?
they cover them up just like they did the male in the vid
Why would you not pull the car away from the pole . then begin the extrication? What is the downside , other than time !
keep up the good work
Ford... wrapped around a tree. Airbag intact.. nice job on getting that dude out fellas
All heros.
car-accidents.com has a lot of pictures and accounts of car accidents. There is one of a S-10 Pickup wrapped around a Telephone Pole with the Drivers Door Touching the Passenger Door. This Mustang Crash is minor compared to a lot of crashes of this type.
How did he get the car wrapped around a tree sideways. It looks as if the car was pushed sideways into the tree. I have never seen this kind of T boning by a tree. No wonder it was hard to extricate.
That's what happens at high speed no damages to passenger side.
He was driving like a fuckwit and got what was coming to him. I have no sympathy for the guy because of that. He was going WAY too fast for the conditions.
It's momentum and physics I guess when they hit the telephone pole they almost always wrap around it on the side it does look weird I saw one in per person it is hard to live through those
@@bevcamren1316 This was a ways back, further than my memory lasts. Was the driver alive when they got him out?
My wife and I was involve in a serious accident and the fire brigade had to cut her out of the car as we got T-boned on her side. Don't you just love the crowd of people standing around gawping. At the accident we had, one moron came up to the car and started taking pictures with his mobile. I got hold of him and nearly shoved his phone where the sun don't shine. If you can't help, show the poor victims a bit of decency and feck off.
It doesn’t seem like the jaws of life are quick enough. Is it possible to just cut the rear roof supports and then just bend the roof of the car over the hood of the car? When time is critical, just seems like the equipment should be able to cut a little faster.
Alen...im sure these professionals don't need someone 2 suggest how 2 do the job that they have been specifically trained I'm!
what does the passenger door have to do with anything. and you mean it took that long to cut through the door hinges?
to get the guy out theres a tree on the other side
should cut tree first?
Geez... I hope everyone is doing well.
This is a great training video. So many things wrong, a few right. Great video man.👍
Gregg, I completely agree.
id like to hear your critiques! please share brother
I think you can have right and wrong at every scene like this. Been there, done that. No matter how much or how hard you drill, things never go like they do in training.
Yes, I agree too... the pacient was fully concious there was no reason to make the extrication so messy and in disorder, zero glass control, the car was badly stabilized and the hidraulic tools werent used properly if they want them to be operative for a couple of more rescues....
No masks during glass management, responder in the car with no helmet, responders with jackets unfastened, more with no helmet. Tools left everywhere, no tool dump. No one managing hoses. No sharp edge protection. But patient extricated eventually
Why... exactly are we tearing the passenger door off the car as I don’t see a victim trapped. Is this extraction practice? If there is someone in the wreckage, by all means get them out but this is a lot of time, effort and tool use for nothing.
Everyday heroes.
Accidents like these involving trees make me want to create a vehicle with tree trucks for the frame and armoured vehicle steel for the body
5:00 Goes from Coupe to Convertible.
Really dumb question. When I was learning to drive I wanted to have the original mini as we sometimes had my great aunts to drive. My dad said absolutely not as that was the only car that did not have a barrier in the car so that if you had a head only your legs would be completely unprotected. With this car his feet were pinned under the dashboard is there a barrier preventing the persons legs to get more damaged? Thank you very much.
lesley smith i don’t know of any vehicle that has that. Most only have the fire wall
Jaw of life are great but they are to slow.
I wish that I had the smarts to invent one faster
There are some rescue tools out there that are a whole lot lighter and faster then Hurst tools are fire department uses TNT easier to work with
They’re slow for a reason!
@@rescue75squad750yeh, i would think any faster would cause something to snap unexpectedly and cause more injury
Moving/shacking the camera way to much kinda making me dizzy! Other wise shout out to the great team work . u guys r my heroes :)
I was married to a firefighter captain and scenes like these are why some of them drink.
oh well.....so much for the '' golden hour''
Doug U jerkoff that was much less than an hour & that patient was not seriously injured anyway . Don’t go threw your whole life being a negative A**Hole
@@OwneyMadden430 If he wasn't seriously injured he woulda been able to pull himself out of that car. Dude was so fucked up they thought he was DOA at first, and when they did get him out the only sign of life left in him was the color of his skin.
Interesting statistics: how many wrecked autos were stolen????
Later dealing with the insurance company "You don't have extrication insurance. So the damage caused by the accident is covered, but not the damage caused when the firefighters cut up your car."
Can the 'Jaws of Life" type of equipment be purchased for personal use? Like for demolition etc.
1ls376 yes,if you’ve got the cash anything can be had
Ouch...that had to hurt.
Why were they trying to open the hood?Were they going to try to pull the driver thru the engine?
God bless
Wow!! Hope if I get in an accident that those guys are around.
I dont.
Wow,driver airbag never came out, or that's what I think by the look of the steering wheel. Prayers for everyone and there families,even the firefighters because they are the heroes on earth besides God of course.
Too slow to extract. My sawzall could have done the job in about 6 minutes or less. Sparks included.
Я так и не понял,нахрена они правое крыло отобрали и дверь?Они всю жизнь мечтали чужой мустанг разобрать на запчасти?
спасать они уже умеют теперь учатся разбирать )
Looks amazing I like it.🤣🤣🤣
Did the tree survive ?
Jeff Ryder Don't think so...
