| On September 19th, 2009 the Sadsburyville Fire Company and Pomeroy Ambulance 29 were dispatched to Lincoln Avenue and Old Wilmington Road in Sadsbury Township for an auto accident. Callers reported a van that collided with a tree.
Fire Captain Conroy arrived first on location and advised of one victim unconscious in the vehicle. Due to this report, a medic was added to the assignment and a helicopter was placed on stand by. Chief Supplee arrived and established Old Wilmington Road Command.
Old Wilmington Road Command directed Engine 31-2 to respond to the park across the street from the firehouse instead of the scene for a landing zone to be established. At this point after EMS evaluation the helicopter was flown to evacuate the victim to a local trauma center. Battalion Chief Grossman acted as the landing zone officer.
Ambulance 29-1 and Medic 93 rapidly extracted the patient from the vehicle, packaged them up and transported to the landing zone.
After the helicopter lifted off, Engine 31-2 was requested to the scene to supply the Pennsylvania State Police with lighting. |
