SCTRT was dispatched to assist station 82 with a vehicle into a structure. Upon my arrival I did a rapid assessment and found the vehicle had entered the side of the building and the side of the house is sitting on top of the A pillar and was restricting the FD from performing a dash lift to get the subject removed. When TR 3 arrived we secured the center beam that was pushed back approx 4′ from the vehicle hitting it. We secured the beam and the structure with a 2-post Paratech shore. We then used 6×6 solid box cribbing to place a Paratech Multiforce Air Lifting Bag in place to lift the structure. approx 4 inches after 2 resets. This allowed the extrication crew to lift the dash off the pt. Once the scene was placed under control we secured the structure with a wooden 2 post shore. We were cleared by cmd after the vehicle was removed from the structure by the tow company.
