Where do you start?

Where do you start?

This is a situation that I have never had to deal with. I friend of mine sent me this picture and I thought it would be interesting to hear how you would handle this.

If you are the first arriving engine company or squad, what are your first courses of action and why?

What are your main concerns  and priorities?

How will you stabilize this vehicle and what tactics and skills will you deploy to make the rescue and or extrication?

There is a lot here to go over, so take your time and list it all.  I think there are some of you out there that we could all learn a great deal from on this matter so share your experiences and knowledge.

Stay safe and think scene safety on all calls.
