Profile

29 years an operational firefighter, 26 years riding a rescue vehicle in London's East End. Len Watson has written several books on rescue and is a well known international figure on the rescue scene. Latterly he has produced e-books – ‘New Developments – New vehicle technology’, 'RTC extrication rescue' and 'Crash Rescue – Vehicle extrication rescue and in-vehicle pre-hospital trauma care’, which is the first book to combine the technical disciplines of vehicle extrication and in-vehicle pre-hospital trauma care.

As an international SAVER instructor, Len delivers Master Classes for the International Centre for Extrication Techniques (ICET) in Holland. He has been instrumental in co-coordinating and producing computer-based instructor presentations and student centred learning programs for both Lukas and Hurst rescue tool manufacturers. His most ambitious involvement with rescue to-date culminates with the introduction of the 'MVC extrication PathFinder'. - a risk management information centre for all late model vehicles designed both for training and operational use at the roadside.
