Tie Back Rig (Part 3): Stabilization Team | Vehicle Extrication Fireground Training

This multi-part fireground training series teaches firefighters how to set up a tie back rig system to create space between a vehicle and a barrier in a vehicle extrication scenario.

In part three of the series, Arvada Auto X instructor Donny Ottaway gives firefighters tips while setting up two Rescue 42s with a ratchet strap base, designed to simultaneously catch and stabilize the car as the anchor team hoists the overturned vehicle onto its side.

Below is the transcription of this video:
So we'll have a stabilization group
that's working with me on the Rescue 42s.

Right now, is this two pin load rating
or a single pin load rating?

If you look on the side, you see how it has a
load rating that says single pins and two pins?

So this is under a single pin rating because it's a single section,
you would need to double the pins up
so just something to keep in mind.

These ratchet straps are probably like the least like worked on piece of equipment
in the fire service and understood.

So it's free-spooled like this. You need at least two wraps around
that buckle.

Otherwise, as it comes out,
it's just going to kick out more strap.

So what I want you to do is set it up
where you have about the same amount
of slack, but you also have a couple of wraps around
that buckle and she’s ready to go, and then also locked off.

We're going to need probably about a foot
and a half to two feet of space there
and that ratchet.

So you're going to have it locked
and ready to go, but it's not going to be taut yet
until that base is in its right position.

It's like you lost a head. And that's okay.

And that's what we're going to end up,
those New York hooks are going to be for
to encourage those heads to stay in there.
