ENGINE AND RESCUE SQUAD RUN AUTO ACCIDENT WITH ONE PINNED AND ONE ON FIRE: RT. 50 AND LANDOVER RD
   
   
   
Wednesday, February 3, 2010 
-
At 0056 hrs the Rescue Squad was alerted to Rt. 50 westbound at Landover Rd. for the single vehicle accident. As the Rescue Squad was departing quarters PG Fire Communications received additional information that the car was on fire with an occupant trapped inside. With this additional information communications added Engine 331 to the call. The units from Kentland arrived, with 10 volunteers, to find an auto on fire with the driver pinned by the dash. The crew from engine 331 quickly deployed their line to protect the victim while the Rescue Squad stabilized the vehicle and went to work freeing the victim. The rescue squad removed the driver's door and then rolled the dash with a hydraulic ram thus freeing the victim from the car. The patient was then handed over to awaiting EMS crews for transport to a local Trauma center. The units from Kentland returned to service in 15 minutes from the time of dispatch.
