Jaws of Life

We have five sets of hydraulic spreading devices called “The Jaws of Life”. These tools enable Fire Fighters to spread, pull and cut metal to free trapped victims of vehicle collisions. To assist in this operation we also use power saws, cable hoists, glass cutters and assorted hand tools.
