Pittsburgh EMS debuts battery-operated Jaws of Life
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Pittsburgh EMS has added a new, potentially life-saving tool to its arsenal.
On social media, they debuted their new battery-operated HURST Combi-Tools, better known as the Jaws of Life.
"The tool has the ability to spread or cut metal and other objects, which may either entrap a victim or prohibit crews from accessing them," Pittsburgh EMS said in social media posts.
Each front-line ambulance in the Pittsburgh EMS fleet will be equipped with this tool.
