PATIENT FLOWN AFTER HEAD ON CRASH |
|
April 10
2006
- At 1603 hrs, Engine 501 was sent out for a personal
injury accident in the 8700 block of Centreville
Road. Two minutes later, City Fire Communications
dispatched units to a second accident at 8358
Stonewall Road. Chief 501, who was just down the
street arrived at Stonewall and Weems to find a pick
up truck that had hit several parked cars, went
airborne, and slammed into a tree head on. Realizing
the driver was trapped and seriously injured, he
requested the rescue assignment. Tower and Rescue
501 arrived together and quickly went to work
removing the door. Medic 501, who was providing
patient care, had the chief request a helicopter.
The patient, who had temporarily lost consciousness,
was suffering from among other things, an open femur
fracture. The men from Rescue 1 quickly removed the
door. The Tower then helped place the patient on a
backboard and loaded him into the unit. With Engine
501 still tied up on the other accident, Wagon 509
was requested to handle the LZ. The Tower went ready
at 1620 hrs. |
