Vehicle Extrication in Brentwood After Head-on Crash

[@bethcotterill-fg3xp]

I was in a crash, hit by drunk driver. If it wasn't for firefighter who held my hand and talked me through what I needed to do to help them get me out, I was at a point of giving up and succumbing to my injuries, his hand in mine and him talking to me, me, is why I survived. Firefighters and ems, truly guardian angels of life.

[@pamelabrumfield7679]

I totaled my car a few years back due to blowing out a front tire on a very foggy rainy night! I was trapped in the driver's seat and the firemen had to cut my door off. A fireman could get in my back seat and he held my hand the whole time! I'll forever be grateful for everyone who works so diligently to save lives!! 💙💙🙏🙏😊

I love the guy in the back talking to her and, I’m sure, trying to calm and reassure her. Much love and respect to our first responders ❤️

[@marcusanton95]

I rolled a cement truck years ago, broke my back, 4 ribs, left collar bone, and crushed my kidney. The first responders are the only reason I'm here today. They never gave up, life flight never gave up on me. Everyday hero's we take for granted. Angels if they exist inhabit these men and women.

[@marg233]

My dad (fireman) now deceased did the same w an accident victim, her hit car flipped & mangled, he crawled under and stayed w her talking holding her hand until excavated. This was early 80s and too this day of the accident anniversary she posts the newspaper photo of her & my dad thanking him for helping keep her alive, for comforted her in her worst hour, it made all the difference not being alone she told the newspaper. My dad talked to her abt family, of course. Himself having 10 kids had lots too talk about plus he knew her parents and we (his kids) knew the victim. Fireman are lifesavers .

[@tracybone1336]

Much respect to these men and women who help these people. I'm sure they have seen some grisly accidents. THANK YOU

AWESOME job by these first responders!!! These men and women are the BEST OF THE BEST!!!

Great idea! Can I steal your thought and try to start a First Responder Day? What day do you recommend? It's about time, don't you think?

I couldn't believe the girl in the mangled car was still alive. The Fire Fighters do an amazing job. Drive responsibly and carefully, people, as it must be a grim job for the Fire Fighters when the drivers/passengers are deceased, especially children.

THANK YOU FIRE MEN & FIRE WOMEN.. AMAZING WORK!!!🚒🚨🚔🚓🚒 FIRST RESPONDERS ARE HEROS!!! 😃🎆

[@nursebunny7420]

As a retired volunteer firefighter I understand what they go through. Most people do not realize a very high percentage about 80 % of these firefighters donate their time to help others. It's a great thing to be part of. That is why I love watching the extraction process

[@GorgyPorgy65]

Honestly what these poor women and men have to see in their daily lives.... They are true saints to get up and do it all over again and again...knowing what they are going to face. The nightmares would always be there.

[@nursebunny7420]

Great rescues. I love to watch the extrication process not the clean up

[@b3j8]

Then these First Responders have to go home and try to sleep reliving what they saw, smelled, and heard! I'd lose my mind!

[@GorgyPorgy65]

I survived falling off a roof onto concrete...the impact was horrendous with pain the most intense I've ever felt. I just do not know how the human body endures head on crashes like this...the forces involved at that speed, and that impact should break every bone but sometimes they survive which is incredible.

[@MOAB-UT]

Sometimes the person is not the same. The brain can get injured permanently with the force of one punch. Helmets do not protect from mTBI's. I should know.

[@GilsonJr.Whitout.Numbers]

A head-on collision is very sad. The good thing is that today the firefighters have the extricator. Where everything is done with great care. 👏

It amazes me watching these videos that many EMTs do not line up the gurney with the patient. In this case the EMTs were spot on, Simple for the rescuers to walk out of the wreck and along the sides of the gurney. Great job.

I can't believe no one died

[@kathywheatley6014]

I feel for these guys that have to go to these horrific scenes.

[@Senerian]

These guys all need double the pay they are getting now, they are fire fireghters yes? but you see them doing this more than anything else. That is a serious expansion of duties. It's more like First responders with a specialty in firefighting. Also the jaws of life and the cutter. Can all departments not get the batter powered ones? I would prefer those cause less equipment to carry and lines that are in the way, greater and easier mobility with the batter ones. But I do not know if they are the same in strength or what the costs of these things are. Im sure they are not cheap to begin with.

[@mariefoy242]

I think that not showing the person is not acceptable. People need to se what these kinds of accidents do to a person because it would teach them not to do things when driving so they don’t end up in the same situation

[@chrisg5894]

Never made any sense to me why California allowed so many cities to have the same names

[@williamparsons7010]

Did they do any crash test on this type of car! The seat belt should save the driver but what would of saved the car? If this were back in the 60's or 70's just a lap belt would of helped but as far as I knew no one wore a seatbelt. I believe there was no law saying you had to wear a seatbelt. In the 80's I was driving when I was involved in a accident and was wearing my seatbelt. I wrote a little thing in my local news paper about the importance of wearing a seatbelt. Would you know it the state of North Carolina praised me for standing up for the seatbelt law. They sent me this award's packet for for bringing attention to the importance of wearing a seatbelt and a kind think you from the capital of Raleigh North Carolina.

Not gonna lie if you were recording a patient on our scene we would’ve taken your camera

[@chelseylynn5630]

I can see why you would do that but also, he even said in his description that the video was cut short to show the victim as little as possible. I think it’s very important to show these kinds of videos to the public, this is the dangers of the road and result of a car accident. I think it can help people be more aware and careful when driving. She did survive also. If it were me I wouldn’t have minded but I also see where you’re coming from

[@paulacraft2321]

I also understand your point, however after watching these videos made me have so much more respect for fireman and police. I can't imagine what you see and what stays with you. I also have a 17 that just started driving and I show him these videos. I talk to him about distraction and speed. We talk about being responsible for the friends he has in the car. I believe that showing him these helps shows him how serious driving is.

I hate fast cars. This is why buying a big, heavy, crash tested vehicle, then driving safely is very important. I won't drive anything less than 4,000lbs. like a mid/large SUV. Even heavier is better...ideally not body on frame construction. They do not crumple as well.

@@elijahjenkins1669 You are wrong. It matters a lot what you drive. In most crashes, if you are in a very large, 4-5 star crash rated vehicle and you are doing the speed limit and wearing your seat belt, your odds of surviving are much higher.
