Departments often deal with emergency situations involving people and vehicles down embankments. There are many different techniques and ideas on how to deal with these situation.  Often, emergency vehicles are the most suitable anchor points in these situations.  When using vehicles for anchors many different webbing and straps can be used on structural components but this may take extra time.  To ease the anchoring efforts and streamline the rescue operations, some rescue teams have manufactured their own anchoring rings to be used in vehicle trailer hitches.
