Answer:

Deflating the tires by pulling the valve stems

Step-by-step explanation:

When an accident happens, the EMT process is to take off the top of the vehicle of the highly damaged vehicle so that it can easily be assessed to rescue the vehicle occupants. This creates a bigger exit for the rescuers to take out the people. Vehicle extrication means removing the vehicle from around someone involved in a fatal collision, when other other ways of exiting is not advised or possible. to stabilize the vehicle you have to deflate all tires by pulling the valve stems.
