L32B Vehicle Positioning or Blocking (2 videos)

Overview

The small videos were created and embedded into the TIM eLearning course to enhance the learning experience by utilizing animation to depict various vehicle positioning maneuvers. The short clips demonstrate how a first responder would initiate linear, angle, lane plus 1, opposite direction, and ambulance vehicle positioning to provide a level of safety from passing motorists for responders and others at the scene of an incident. LONG VIDEOS: This video was assembled from the short vehicle positioning animated video clips and is narrated by a Fire Department official. The intent of this video is to stress the importance of safety which is realized by proper vehicle positioning by the first arriving responders in preventing errant vehicles from entering into an incident scene. This video is made to be short enough in length to be delivered at safety briefings or role calls for all agencies, both public and private, which respond to roadway incidents.
