pick of the axe will help control it, making certain that only one corner of the blade penetrates the glass.

hand tools such as a reciprocating saw or hacksaw.
JPR 16-11C
C Relief cuts are placed in the roof on both sidesof the vehicle, allowing ample space to gain
access when the roof is folded.
JPR 16-11D
D A tool such as a pike pole is placed across therear section of roof. Apply downward pressure to
form a fulcrum for the windshield and roofportion being folded over.
JPR 16-11E

carried out. The folded-over portion should alsobe secured so that a wind gust cannot blow it
back over onto the patient or firefighters.
