This week on Ride Along: EMT School, we’re talking highway operations, vehicle extrication, and what EMTs need to understand when patient care moves into the wreckage. Mike, Max, and Jonathan walk through disentanglement, scene safety, highway blocking, vehicle hazards, patient access, PPE, electrical dangers, vehicle stabilization, and the EMT’s role while rescue crews work to free a trapped patient.

We also talk through real-world ambulance navigation mistakes, fair standby EMS, the difference between extrication and disentanglement, and why this is one of those topics where hands-on training matters.
