rescue tools

Emergency freeing devices

Rescue tools are specialized equipment used to extract people from dangerous situations—collapsed buildings, wrecked vehicles, confined spaces.

The category includes hydraulic spreaders and cutters (jaws of life), pneumatic lifting bags, cutting torches, and pry bars.

First responders carry rescue tools to free trapped victims: The firefighters used rescue tools to cut through the car's roof.
