[0:12] Hi, I'm Christian Schuster with the
[0:14] Burnsville Fire Department. Every year
[0:16] we respond to hundreds of vehicle
[0:17] accidents and sometimes we provide more
[0:19] than just medical care. When a crash
[0:22] leaves a vehicle too damaged to open
[0:24] normally, our firefighters perform
[0:27] what's called auto exertation. Using
[0:29] powerful hydraulic tools, often called
[0:32] the jaws of life. We carefully cut
[0:34] through metal and remove parts of the
[0:36] vehicle to reach those trapped inside.
[0:39] Using the jaws of life, we can safely
[0:41] remove doors, sections of the frame,
[0:45] and even the roof to reach those inside.
[0:48] Every move we make [screaming] is
[0:51] focused on safety, both for our crews
[0:53] and for the people in the vehicle.
[0:55] Training is a big part of what we do.
[0:58] Our crews regularly practice real life
[1:00] rescue situations to build speed,
[1:03] precision, and confidence with our tools
[1:05] and techniques. That preparation means
[1:07] when every [music] second counts, we're
[1:09] ready to respond safely and get help to
[1:11] those who need it most.
