This class should be mandatory, whether you experience or not! You will learn (or review) basics, various extrication equipment, vehicle scenarios, alternative methods & much more at a comfortable pace. It does not hit you right away hoe much you learn or raise the level of extrication skills you may already have….then you look back on the day and go “WOW”! I appreciate the opportunity to have taken part in the valuable experience, Thank You.

Fire Chief Merle Frank,

This letter comes to you with geat appreciation for the maximum efforts that your Extrication Team members put forward in order to make the 2006 "Pile Up in Puyallup" a complete success!  The hospitality and professionalism extended to me as a T.E.R.C judge was the best that I have ever received during any challenge I have been a part of, as either a judge or a competitor.  Your members hosted a Regional challenge that was as credible as any International competition.  I was also impressed by the high standard of prefessional competence and integrity that each and every one of your team members had shown during the Hands-on Advanced Auto Extrication class that I was so fortunate to be associated with as an instructor.  Within your dept you have some of the most dedicated and highly informed extrication specialists that the fire service has to offer, and I hope that these individuals receive the support and recognition that they deserve for this challenge and any other extrication activities that they decide to pursue in the future.

One final note, if myself & my family were traveling in your jurisdiction and had the misfortune of being
involved in a Motor Vehicle accident, I can rest assured of receiving the utmost in professionalism and patient care. 
The success of any Organization depends on its structure...and you have got the right people working for you.

Sincerely,

Randy Schmitz
Calgary Fire Dept

"PXT put on the best class I have had in 29 years of Fire Service.  It's a real hands-on, taught by true professionals,
and not recommended for the faint of heart."

"I have been a Fireman for 32 years, and I have never taken part in a class so well instructed, or organized.
Every instructor was on the same page. That's a very rare accomplishment."
