One Pinned - 1900 block of Spencverville Road
07/19/10
Burtonsville units were dispatched to Spencerville Road and Good Hope Roadd for a motor vehicle accident with reports of one trapped. In route, Rescue Squad 715 requested Truck 715 to respond from quarters for manpower. Rescue Squad 715 arrived to find a two car head on collision with one pinned and numerous patients. The squad crew initiated stabilization efforts as the Truck crew assisted with the stabilization and assessed multiple patients. Chief 715 arrived on-scene, established the Burtonsville command and assigned Chief 715C as the extrication group supervisor. The squad crew removed three doors, removed the roof and pushed to dash to extricate the pinned occupant. The extrication was complete in less than fifteen minutes upon arrival by the combined efforts of the Squad and Truck crew. Numerous patients were transported by units from surrounding jurisdictions to local trauma facilities throughout the region. Chief 715E also responded on this incident.
