    I don’t know how it got that way.

    I do know I’m supposed to investigate with binoculars from a pretty far distance, then

    • setup a hoseline in case the fuel ignites
    • only let rescuers get close for a few seconds to connect stabilizers like struts or junk yard dogs all around any direction it can fall
    • disconnect the batteries on all three
    • put on the parking break on all three
    • add chocks under the frame of the two with all 4 wheels on the ground

    After that I’d find the easiest way to extract the victims, probably by cutting off the roof with our electric cutters avoiding any undeployed airbags in the roof struts.

    Finally, we’d move the victims through where the windshield is, taking care to put neck / back collars on any with possible spinal injuries.

    And that’s the end of my armchair quarterbacking. Here’s hoping I do all of these steps the next time I have a rescue like this.
