Southside Wrecker is always happy to serve our community. Our local Firefighters do important work every day. We are proud to serve alongside them, providing support through wrecker services and assisting in our local fire department’s ongoing training.

 

Firefighters handle much more than just putting out fires. Car accidents are one of the many calls firefighters respond to. Beyond a car being on fire, there are several scenarios at the scene of a wreck requiring a firefighter’s skill:

 * Overturned trucks
* Passenger rescue when trapped inside a vehicle
 * Gasoline or hazardous spills 

Firefighters are often called to accidents because of their ability to operate special tools that help free accident victims trapped in vehicles. These tools can be hydraulic or electric-powered and are sometimes called the “Jaws of Life.” Knowing the proper way to rescue trapped victims quickly is paramount. The fire department is adept at managing the scene, controlling traffic, and providing medical care. 

Working with the heavy-duty equipment needed at some accidents requires experience and training. Southside Wrecker Services supports our local fire department by providing vehicles and space to local fire departments for their ongoing training. We recently had some trainees needing hands-on experience before dealing with live action, and we were happy to provide the equipment and space they needed to train.

Besides training support, we come alongside first responders with three decades of experience with collision accident recovery services. We partner with first responders to restore the flow of traffic and ensure the safety of all on the road. Southside Wrecker was the first heavy-duty quick clearance team in Georgia to be certified by the Department of Transportation. Our team has the experience and equipment necessary to respond quickly for the safety of victims, protect affected traffic, and preserve emergency responders’ energy and efforts. As the only wrecker service with a twin-steer rotator in Metro Atlanta, we are prepared 24/7 to provide the safest solution to tow large aerial trucks. We are fully equipped to assist police and firefighters as they perform their lifesaving work after an accident, and to clear the wreck quickly for the safety of all. In the event of a motor fluid spill or other hazardous spills, Southside Wrecker knows how to handle a spill properly for the well-being of motorists and the environment. We contain, collect, and dispose of the hazardous fluid, and restore the scene right away. When you need accident recovery or motor fluid spill help in Metro Atlanta, our team at Southside Wrecker responds quickly and decisively 24/7.
