MVC with Entrapment- At 7:30 this evening the GVFC was dispatched to the Mt. Royal section of East Greenwich on Kings Highway near the Mantua Creek. Reports were a vehicle off the road and into the trees with one patient trapped.

Rescue 1918 arrived and established command while their crew began stabilizing the vehicle and charged a hose line for protection. As 2118 arrived, 1918s crew started removing the passenger side door. 2118s crew finished stabilization and removed the drivers side door.

After a few more minor cuts and spreads, the patient was removed and turned over to the County EMS.

2117 and 2111 were also on scene with their crews providing extra manpower.

Laying Lines & Searching Floors

- Tonight the members of the GVFC held a drill in the Broad Street Bully Training Trailer, located in the rear of our station. Members laid in, rescued victims and stretched lines through heavy smoke conditions. Working in teams, crews were flawless in their assignments which shows us all that continuous and repetitious training pays off.

After the initial evolution, members then partnered up in pairs and split up in the building. Locating each other with zero visibility and utilizing their buddy breathing systems was their task. After the buddy breathing connection was made, the teams evacuated the building.

Great job by all. ... See MoreSee Less
