Morning Rescue, Busy Night in the County

Incident No Comments

This morning around 7am Reisterstown along with surrounding companies were alerted for an MVC with patients trapped in Franklin’s district.  S414 went enroute.  Reports were of 1 person trapped but E56 was able to extricate the patient just as S414 arrived.  Several were transported to the hospital.

This was after a busy night in the county with 3 working fires (2 of them 2-alarm) and a working rescue.  One of the working fires was on the West side which stretched resources.  E412 was dispatched on a medical call to Station 18’s area but was cleared upon arrival.  E412 was then transferred to Station 18 to cover the area. In all we were there approximately 90 minutes before returning to Reisterstown.

Squad 414 Training

Training No Comments

Squad 414 (S414) in our station is used for many different incidents.  Primarily it is outfit for rescues and in particular for extricating patients trapped in vehicles.  For that task it has multiple spreaders and cutters to open up car doors or remove roofs. But there are many other tools on the squad.  There is a whole section for rope rescues, water rescues and confined space rescues.

As well the squad has a large number of lights, which was one of the initial tasks for a squad on a fire.  Some lights would be set-up in the front of the house, some would be set-up around the back (if accessible) and some set-up inside, all so we, and others, can see what we are doing in our fire fighting tasks.

Last night we pulled all the lights off the squad and went over how to set them up (for some newer members).

Motor vehicle collision on Route 30

Incident No Comments

Units were dispatched for a motor vehicle collision with patients trapped in Arcadia’s box area.  SU418 was on the original call along with apparatus from stations in Baltimore and Carroll counties.  SU418 stabilized the vehicle and removed the doors for easier access to the patient.  E412 secured the parking lot at Sportsman’s Hall on Route 30 for the Trooper.  M435 transported the patient to the landing zone and E412/M435 crews transferred the patient from the medic unit to the Trooper.
