MissionCIT offers the following training course, “Street Wrecks Extrication Class” in accordance with NFPA standards. This is a one-day course by MissionCIT’s instructors, hosted by Seymour Auto Wrecking. Lunch and hydration will be provided. This booking option is for Saturday, November 14, 2026.

Street Wrecks is an aggressive, hands-on vehicle extrication course focused on the fundamentals that make good rescue companies effective: stabilize the vehicle, understand what the metal is doing, make smart cuts, create space, and get the job done.

Students will work through realistic vehicle positions and learn how to build solid stabilization systems without wasting time or equipment. From there, the course moves into advanced cutting, spreading, lifting, and displacement techniques designed around today’s vehicle construction and the problems firefighters routinely encounter on the street.

This isn’t a class about memorizing ten different evolutions for a test. It’s about understanding why a technique works, recognizing when it doesn’t, and being able to adapt when the wreck in front of you doesn’t look anything like the one you trained on.

THE WORK

The day will focus heavily on hands-on repetitions involving:

Vehicles on their side
Vehicles on their roof
Rapid and progressive stabilization
Cribbing, step chocks, struts and tensioned stabilization
Tool placement and creating purchase points
Advanced cutting and spreading techniques
Door and side removal
Roof removal and displacement
Dash and interior-space management
Working around reinforced vehicle construction
Creating patient-removal pathways
Tool positioning in tight or awkward working areas
Alternative techniques when the textbook move isn’t working
Coordinating the rescue team so everyone isn’t fighting for the same three feet of wreck

The goal is simple:

Quit training only for the perfect wreck. Get good at the wrecks you actually run.

Students should leave the course more confident putting a vehicle on solid footing, reading the wreck, choosing the right technique, and aggressively creating space for patient removal.

Stabilize it. Make the cut. Create the space. Get ’em out.

Training Session will be at:

Seymour Auto Wrecking
107 New Haven Rd
Seymour, CT 06483
