The personnel of the Rescue service have special
training to handle car crashes in which one important task
is to uncover the injured. They have special cutting equipment
to open up crashed cars. However, modern cars are
built with so hard and strong steel, especially in their side
protection structure, that the tools used may have problems
to cut these parts. For the Rescue service located in
smaller communities, often staffed with voluntary personnel,
it is an obvious problem to buy updated expensive
equipment and train the personnel. All rescue personnel
also have 40 hours training in first aid so they may act
as medical First Responders.
