“Because the tool reduced the time to extricate a victim from a car crash, literally snatching them from the ‘jaws of death’, the tool earned the name Jaws of Life,” Hurst Performance officials said. “Hurst Jaws of Life rescue systems now travel with more than 35,000 rescue squads, fire and police departments throughout the world.”
The free demonstration is part of the KHTS Emergency Expo, which will take place Saturday, April 25 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Valencia Hyatt parking lot.
