Thursday Night Brings Two Working Rescues: Rescue Box 14-01 & Rescue Box 17-02
January 07, 2010 - At approximately 9:15pm, Squad 303 responded to the report of a motor vehicle accident with possible entrapment at the intersection of West Seminary Avenue and Falls Road (Rescue Box 14-01). While en route, police were first to arrive at the scene and confirmed one patient trapped in a vehicle that was broadsided / T-Boned. Crews worked aggressively for approximately 15 minutes to extricate the patient, who was then transported to Shock Trauma via M14. A few hours later at around midnight, LVFC was alerted for another rescue assignment, Rescue Box 17-02, involving a vehicle that went off the road into the woods. As the vehicle was located in a heavily wooded area, Squad 303's crew help cut through and remove small trees and brush to gain access to the driver's door to remove the patient from the vehicle. The patient suffered minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital for evaluation.
