National Auto Body Council First Responder Emergency Extrication Program Salutes First Responders on National First Responder Day

October 28, 2021 By CollisionWeek Editor

The National Auto Body Council First Responder Emergency Education (F.R.E.E.) program helps prepare local first responder teams to rescue accident victims from these late-model vehicles. Since the program was founded, it has provided hands-on education to nearly 5,000 first responders, thanks to the support of its vehicle donors and tool partners Hurst Jaws of Life and Genesis Rescue Systems.

Today, it pays tribute to these brave men and women with a tribute video, embedded below, saluting their efforts.

 

The NABC F.R.E.E. program provides advanced education and guidance to help first responders practice cutting techniques on advanced vehicles, addressing high-strength steel and composite materials, multiple airbags, onboard technology and changing vehicle design.

More information about the F.R.E.E. program is available online.
