Trapped Victim Rescued
November 14th, 2015- In the early afternoon hours of November 14th Company 27 was alerted for the report of a Rescue Local with people trapped at Suitland Parkway and Suitland Road, seconds from the fire house. This call put the Rescue Engine, Engine Company, and Ambulance on the street. Units from Company 27 and the 3rd Battalion arrived on the scene to confirm one patient trapped in the vehicle. The Rescue Engine arrived on the scene, stabilized the vehicle, gained access to the patient, and began working to remove the drivers side of the vehicle, including two doors, and the ‘B Post’. The patient was extricated moments later and handed over to the awaiting Ambulance crew from Co. 27. This was one of many calls for service for Morningside that would include several Rescue Locals, Local Alarms, and Box Alarms. This was also the second extrication in four days for Morningside. #southsiderescuecompany
