Vehicle extrication is the process of removing the vehicle from around a person that has been involved in a motor vehicle accident, when conventional means of exit are impossible or unadvisable. A delicate approach is needed to minimize injury to the victim during the extrication. This operation is typically accomplished by utilizing chocks and bracing for stabilization and hydraulic tools, including the Jaws of Life. Standards and regulations can be found in NFPA 1670 and 1006. From Wikipedia under the

Check the local salvage yards to see if any of them are interested in the tax write off or having their logo and name on the side of the vehicle (Donated By...). Place a small ad in the local paper and stress the tax write off potential for the donation (generally more than the junker is worth).
