Rescue Engine Extricates a Priority One Patient: Washington Blvd. & Talbott Ave
|
At 0004hrs, on 3/6/09, Rescue Engine 49 was alerted for an overturned vehicle, with a report of one person trapped. An LVRS member, who was off-duty, came across the accident, assessed the scene, and began stabilization of the patient's neck. Upon the arrival of Rescue Engine 49, the crew took over patient care, and used the air shores with a tieback to stabilize the vehicle. Chief 49 arrived on scene and established the Washington Blvd. command. The patient was determined to be a Priority 1 (critical, potentially life-threatening injuries) and was extricated in under 10 minutes, transferred to awaiting EMS crews, and then transported via helicopter. Units operated for about 45 minutes. |
