heres what this type of pin looks like.

Is there any curriculum or classes offered to local Fire Dept.'s and EMS Agencies by WCDES regarding technical rescues called "Space Cases"? Space Case referrers to a term used by the city for a person Pinned between a train and a platform... ive gone through a chunk of the training myself, but was wondering if it was or could be offered at WCDES.

ahh see i knew i was a little rough on what the terminology applied too.. thanks for clearing that up.. working for ems we got the lecture portion of the training and a very brief overview on how it works didn't really get too hands on with it... im pretty sure that my volly FD could use this training if it was offered...

Actually the "Space Case" is the piece of cribbing with angle iron attached and airbag bungie corded to it used in the situation of a person trapped between a train and the platform. Pretty easy to make and if you contact your railroad you could probably figure out a place to do the training with a training manakin. FDNY units get this training at the Rock where there is a building with 2 subway cars and a subway station. Units practice using the airbags and/or bottle jack to lift a train. Very good training.
