Austin firefighters in Austin, Texas, routinely respond to vehicle collision incidents within the city. On average, the city experiences between 24 and 34 vehicle collisions per day, which amounts to roughly 8,700 to 12,400 crashes per year. The range of incidents varies from minor fender-benders to severe, multi-fatality accidents.

In cases where a collision occurs and 911 is called, firefighters respond by assessing patients, clearing roadway debris, and moving disabled vehicles to restore traffic flow. For more complex incidents involving pinned or trapped victims, firefighters use advanced extrication techniques. They stabilize vehicles and employ specialized equipment to safely rescue individuals.

A recent incident on N IH35 involved a vehicle extrication in which fire crews stabilized the vehicle before using their tools to free a pinned patient. Austin firefighters train extensively to develop the skills necessary for both routine and life-threatening emergency responses.
