You = instructor, hands off
New FFs each do: door pop · windshield · B-post
No steering-wheel displacement today
1
The Opening — first 5 minutes
- Safety brief. Full PPE, gloves, eye-pro. Watch footing, sharp steel, glass. One word today is STOP — anyone calls it, everyone freezes. Captains are the safety backstop. “Everybody good? Sound off.”
- The mission. “By the time we leave, our newest — Dantly and the two new guys — will each have popped a door, taken a windshield, and done a B-post blowout. Everyone else runs a position. Nobody stands around.”
- The system. “Every car runs the same 4 steps — Size-Up, Stabilize, Peel & Peek, Tactics. It’s all on the site — pull it up on your phones.”
- Go. Assign the first seats, walk to Car 1, start with the size-up.
If your mind blanksYour reset button is always: “What’s our next step in the system?” — ask the group. Nerves become their engagement.

Standing Rules — all day
⚠ Rule
Every door, latch and hood is locked and smashed — “try before you pry” will fail. They still verbalize it every single time.
- Rescue Officer runs the size-up on every evolution — hands OFF tools.
- Safety Officer enforces the rules on every evolution — hands off.
- During the actual cutting: only the Cutters & Spreaders team is hands-on. Rescue Officer watching, Safety Officer nearby, everyone else in line, watching.
- Any “STOP” = everyone freezes, no questions.

The tactic operators
Car 1 · Side A — TEACH
New guys on the tools — walk them through everything
Slow and narrated, in order:
- Stabilization (chocks + tires)
- Secure electrical
- Glass + front windshield
- Peel & peek
- B-post blowout
- Dash lift
Freeze halfway through the B-post: “STOP — everybody freeze.” Then tag a fresh pair in to finish it (teaches the STOP + clean handoff).
After the B-post: tag two more in to finish the dash lift.
Car 1 · Side B
Door removals → Roof removal
- Remove the doors — door pops (hinge & pin attack).
- Finish with roof removal.
Car 2 · Side A
Full rescue evolution — one side
- One clean, realistic, full-speed run start-to-access on one side.
Car 2 · Side B
Full evolution + Dash Roll
- Same full evolution on the other side, finishing with a dash roll.
NEW = the three newest (Dantly, New FF A, New FF B). HANDS OFF = no tools. Starting seats — swap names to taste.
