Heavy wreckers can play a significant role in the positive outcome of a救援operation. A positive outcome includes victim survivability and rescuer safety. The fire service has come a long way in developing a positive working relationship with the towing and recovery industry.
Developing that relationship includes preincident operational训练，允许消防部门（或救援机构）和牵引公司，以了解彼此的能力，需求和术语。
它同样重要的是，先生协议或谅解备忘录（MOU）成立。这允许解决账单和潜在的合同冲突。这成为密钥，因为执法常规管理破坏者通知accident场景。大多数牵引和恢复公司都很容易与愿意帮助并愿意帮助，但在事件发生之前解决行政问题，允许与牵引公司和执法部门保持强大的事件后关系。
呼唤重型残骸
凭借一些例外，大多数消防部门都不拥有或stafftheir own heavy wreckers (although a few do). This means a system for automatic response or calling from the field should be in place. Let’s look at each of these.
Automatic Response
这是指当一个实例the 911 center has to meet specific criteria for an emergency where a heavy wrecker is needed and is immediately called for. Since heavy wreckers are considered a private sector resource, the 911 center must call the heavy wreckerdispatcherto get that resource on the road.
Calling from the Field
This is the most common system for getting a heavy wrecker to the scene. Based on information obtained en route or from on-scene size-up, a heavy wrecker is requested. It’s up to each department to determine the level of empowerment its personnel have relative to requesting a heavy wrecker—some departments may allow only personnel with the ranks of captain and above to call for the wrecker; others may authorize the first arriving官打电话给它。
呼唤正确的残骸（或残骸）
你最后一件事就是打电话给一个沉重的残骸来提升一个大的人卡车off a passenger vehicle and have a rollback (flatbed) wrecker show up. The fire service has no specific “typing” of heavy wreckers; however, the wrecker industry does. Fire service interaction with the wrecker industry is considered a low-frequency event, thus retaining wrecker industry category knowledge may be a challenge.
When calling from the field, we must understand that this request travels from the field to the 911 dispatcher center and then to the wrecker dispatcher or on-call wrecker driver. With this many沟通触摸，有一些信息可能会丢失或误解。这加强了在事件发生前用残骸公司培训的重要性，因此涵盖和理解了正确的术语。
One way to help ensure that the proper wrecker is requested is for the field unit to paint a good picture of what is needed–for example, “I need a heavy wrecker to lift a fully loaded tri-axle dump off a passenger car with people trapped” can easily be conveyed from the field to the wrecker driver. This gives the wrecker driver an idea of the weight of the truck and the urgency of people trapped. The wrecker driver may also bring other resources, including an additional heavy wrecker or support vehicles that carry additional equipment such as lifting bags. It may also be beneficial for the field unit to provide specific information on how the wrecker can best access the scene. For example, if a limited-access highway has been safely shut down by law enforcement, the wrecker may be able to travel against the normal flow of traffic to access the scene faster.
当可能时，具有开场现场单元(incident commander) communicate with the wrecker driver directly by cell phone or radio can be helpful. This allows the wrecker driver to ask specific questions so he can determine what other resources will be needed and how to best access the scene.
Each response agency has various dynamics within its jurisdiction that can impact the notification and response of heavy wreckers to anemergency scene。这就是涉及紧急响应机构和残骸公司至关重要的新生培训的原因。
