The tool includes first and second members integrally joined together by a throat member with the first and second members extending in substantially the same direction and being substantially parallel with one another. The second member includes a notch portion having a cutting surface around at least a part thereof for allowing the rescue tool to be used to cut various substances such as seat belts, shoulder harnesses and sheet metal. The notch portion is positioned substantially parallel to the first member. The throat member extends between the first and second members substantially adjacent the forward end of the rescue tool. An anvil portion may be provided on the rearward end of the second member for allowing the rescue tool to be used to break various substances such as the windows of an automobile or the like.
