Firefighters in Knightdale, NC, needed a couple extra inches to free a diver pinned by the steering wheel in a roof resting vehicle accident. They deployed two ARS Multi Loop Rescue Straps, added spreaders between the anchor side and the vehicle side, and bent the steering wheel sufficiently to complete the extrication.

That old "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" adage applies to the fire service too. Evaluating the real cost savings of avoiding fires vs. money spent on prevention programs each year can easily illustrate how beneficial these programs can be. These may be traditional outreach programs, like elementary school programs, smoke detector installation, etc. However, they may be designed to work across city offices to create efficiencies - like changing inspection processes to allow for comprehensive mapping of buildings for the local fire service, ordinances requiring fire sprinklers, etc. For more information and ideas, check out this article:
