Serious Motor Vehicle Accident Brings Out The Volunteers From Bay District

By Public Information Officer Douglas Medley
April 10, 2014

The morning dawned cloudy but a nice temperature and the guys were sitting around both stations 3 and 9 having their morning coffee’s when over the scanner was toned out a serious motor vehicle in the area of the local high school.

With Squad 3 and Engine 91 responding from their respective stations fully staffed along with several emergency medical service units from the Lexington Park Volunteer Rescue Squad everyone was given a heads up from the E.O.C. (Emergency Operations Center) that police units had arrived on the scene and reported that there were multiple patients with heavy entrapment and a possible fatality.

This alerted the crews responding along with Deputy Chief 3 (Fuhrman) who had marked up that it was going to be some heavy work ahead. Fire Chief 3 (Wahrenbrock) hearing the call felt like his presence on the scene would be needed.

All units arrived about the same time with the Deputy Chief setting up the operations while the Fire Chief took the overall command. The crews from the Squad and Engine went right to work both stabilizing the vehicle and pulling a hand line to offer protection to the victims still in the car. As the officer on Squad 3 did his walk around he determined that there were 5 patients in the car with one deceased. It was determined that the best way to get the others out was to do a full roof removal. Tools were brought to the side of the vehicle and the crew began to do a roof flap and take the whole roof off. EMS personnel were assisting the patients and keeping them covered while the firefighters did their work.

Everything went as their training had taught them and in a matter of a few minutes the roof was removed and patients were able to be removed from the car and transported to waiting ambulances.
NOW BEFORE I GO ANY FURTHER “THIS WAS A DRILL, I REPEAT THIS WAS A DRILL”

Every year around the end of the school year the fire department, rescue squad and police department’s visit the schools in the county to show the students just what might happen when you mix booze and speeding while driving a car. This is very well received by all the students and I really think the message that we are trying to get across to them really hits home. If we can make the difference in just maybe saving one life then we feel that the time spent by out firefighters is a good investment.

Sorry for being so dramatic in writing the story but who knows maybe someone reading this article and looking at the pictures might think about how they drive even if they are not students.

I would like to thank my assistant Rick Montrose for giving me a hand by taking pictures.
