The more safety features and technology gets crammed into modern cars, the harder it gets for first responders to cut through them safely. Cutting someone out of a car is hard enough without having to worry about inadvertently triggering an airbag or hitting a power supply.<br />
<br />
To solve that problem, the Extraction Zone mobile app includes maps of the vital systems of popular cars, like the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/civic">Honda Civic</a> Hybrid, to help EMTs and fire departments find a safe area to cut through. The app highlights structural supports, airbags, and power and propulsion systems to give rescuers an idea where to cut safely. There's even a night mode to make the app more visible in low-light situations.<br />
