A standard construction hardhat is appropriate protection for the EMT's head during an auto extrication. It provides impact protection from falling debris or objects and protection from head injuries due to blunt force trauma. Firefighting helmets are designed for protection from heat and flame, but may not provide sufficient impact protection.
