SceneWise Rescue
A pocket playbook for emergency rescue technicians. The bridge between formal training and the actual incident, where you need to recall a specific step or load calculation under pressure.
Overview
What it is, and what it isn't.
SceneWise Rescue is a field-reference app for emergency rescue technicians, a pocket playbook for the kinds of high-stakes, technical jobs first responders run when a textbook isn't an option.
It's not training material. It's the thing you reach for after training, when you need to verify a load calculation, confirm a sequence, or document a specific vehicle quirk you encountered on a job last shift.
Inside the app
Built for the scene, not the classroom.
Every procedure is structured for fast recall under pressure: force diagrams, load-path engineering, equipment reference and a night mode for after dark.
What it covers
Six rescue disciplines. RCR shipped first.
Road Crash Rescue
Stabilisation, glass, doors, dash entrapment, cribbing and vehicle relocation, fully built out.
Vertical Rescue
Rope systems, anchors, edge management and casualty packaging.
Land Search & Rescue
Search planning, terrain analysis, tracking and lost-person behaviour.
Urban Search & Rescue
Structural collapse, void access, shoring and casualty extraction.
Swift Water Rescue
Hydrology, throw bag, contact rescue and boat operations.
Confined Space Rescue
Atmospheric monitoring, entry procedures and retrieval systems.
Inside Road Crash Rescue
Ten topics. The real workflow at a crash scene.
Each topic has step-by-step procedures, force and load diagrams (SVG illustrations of cribbing geometry and ram placement), and safety-critical callouts.
Stabilisation
Vehicle on wheels, side, or roof: load paths and platform integrity before any cutting begins.
Glass management
Tempered, laminated, polycarbonate: when to break, when to cut, when to cover.
Doors
Opening, forcing, removing. Decision tree for hinge-side vs latch-side approach.
Side removal
B-pillar cuts, side rip, third-door techniques. Working space vs structural integrity.
Roof techniques
Full removal, flap forward, flap back. A-pillar, B-pillar and C-pillar considerations.
Seats
Adjust, force, remove. Manual vs powered seat decision points.
Dash entrapment
Dash lift, dash roll, foot well release, cross-ram positioning.
Cribbing & forces
Load paths, box cribs, the 3:1 height-to-base rule. Diagram-led.
Overturned vehicles
Inverted casualty removal. Roof-down stabilisation and access angles.
Vehicle relocation
Winching, sling placement, mechanical advantage. When and where to pull from.
Field tool features
More than a textbook.
These features are what make SceneWise usable mid-call, not just during refresh training.
Star tasks
Tag the procedures you want quick access to on scene.
Add notes
Typed observations attached to any task: keep what you learned after a job.
Attach photos
Camera and gallery support for documenting techniques or specific vehicle quirks.
Saved view
Everything you have starred or annotated in one screen for fast retrieval mid-call.
Squad & vehicles
Roster and apparatus reference for your unit, on hand when you need it.
Offline-first
Standalone HTML version runs with no internet, no install, no account. Works in a vehicle bay with no signal.
Who it's for
For the people running the call.
Rescue technicians, fire and SES crews, training officers, and anyone running or refreshing on technical rescue. The bridge between formal training and the actual incident.
