Puyallup Extrication Team

been competing
nationally as well as internationally since 2000 in TERC vehicle rescue competitions. Vehicle extrication is the
rescue skill of disentangling and removal of patients who are trapped in severe automobile accidents. Teams of
firefighters from around the world compete in these rescue scenarios to enhance their skills, learn new automotive
technologies, and help to advance techniques of auto extrication rescue. Our company is a recognized educational
company which has non-profit status (501-C-3). Since 2000 with the help of private sponsors and contributions we have been able to attend advanced rescue
seminars, classes, and competitions in the US and Canada. We have competed against and shared knowledge with
firefighter teams from all over the US and the world including Canada, United Kingdom, Sweden, Czech Republic,
Australia, and South Africa. These interactions have had a compound effect on the way that we perform auto
extrication rescues in our own communities.
