AUTO
ACCIDENT WITH ENTRAPMENT |
|
June 16,
2004
- Shortly after noon today, Manassas City Fire
Communications dispatched Wagon, Rescue, Ambulance and
Medic 501 to 9506 Center Street, in front of the Harley
Davidson Dealership, for a single vehicle auto
accident with a report of a trapped victim. Units
arrived on the scene to find one vehicle overturned,
with a small fuel leak, and
the driver still inside. Though not seriously
injured,
crews chose to stabilize the driver while he was still
inside the vehicle and then extricate him to reduce the
chances of further injury. Wagon and Rescue 501's
crews worked
to stabilize the vehicle and cut the roof to facilitate
the removal of the patient. Chief 501 (Lesnick) had
command. The patient was transported to Prince William
Hospital. |

DRILL
HOUSE CONTINUES TO GET TORN APART |

June 03,

-
Members
have been consistently taking advantage of the two
buildings directly across the street form the fire house
that were donated for training. There is not much
left of the two buildings, at least on the inside.
Crews have been conducting many different drills varying
from search, forcible entry, ventilation, overhaul,
rescue, ladder placement including the aerial, RIT,
running lines, and roof operations. Every now and
then we had to evict the occasional homeless person
before going to drill but the members have really
benefited from have these to buildings right across the
street. As of right now, we're not sure when the
buildings will be torn down but hopefully the membership
will continue to use them until they go up for
demolition. |
