Last week, Fire Chief Bowers presented personnel from Fire
Station 34-A Shift with a unit citation for operations performed at a
complicated crash scene.
Fire Units were dispatched for a report of a car that veered
off the road. A car traveling North on 270 went off the road and came to rest
on its side in the drainage ditch between the on and off ramps for RTE 118.
Upon arrival of units a single car was found on its side with two seriously
injured patients trapped in the car.
The car was stabilized and occupants were removed from the
vehicle. Fire and Rescue personnel then
had to perform a difficult slope evacuation to get both occupants back up to
the hard top where they were loaded into waiting ambulances and transported to
a local hospital.
Great job by all!
