In the sixth and final part of this series, Next Level Extrication instructor, Paul Shoemaker shows the firefighters how to safely release the tie-back rig after passengers have been extricated from the vehicle.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION:

Let’s take everything out of play. Just release the grip hoist enough to disconnect the chains.

We’ll take the chains out. We’ll take the struts out, and then we’ll take this out. And what I’m gonna end up doing, taking this, we’ll extend this, we’ll take the hook, we’ll grab the B post. We’ll these hooks, we’ll just leave disconnected, start going down on slack on this.

Okay, now grab tension. And note, everybody’s clear, right?

Ok, now let it go. And hold on. Nice and slow.
