MVC with people trapped on I-66

Medic 106 arrived first and advised Fairfax of the correct location and established 66 Command (Marker); Command requested Engine and Truck 106 to be added to the call due to the incident being about a mile from the firehouse.  Engine and Truck 106 arrived and worked with other units to remove the two persons that were trapped.  Medic 106 took one patient and Medic 418 took the other; both patients went to the closest trauma center due to mechanism with BLS injuries.

Skills Learned In Trimester Training Help With Cut Job in Alexandria

August 1, 2009.

At 0905 hrs, Rescue 109 and Medic 105 were dispatched to the City of Alexandria (intersection of Mt. Vernon Ave. and Custis Ave. in Del Ray) for a reported MVC with entrapment. M105 (Rob Bowen, Randall Dennis and Anne Slabinski) arrived and was assigned patient care responsibilities.  R109 (Glenn Mayhew, Jake Easton and Lt. Geoff Mayer.) arrived, positioned the apparatus to allow access for extrication operations, and reported to command.  Command (Batallion 211) assigned R109 to be Operations for the incident. The focus of the operation was a vehicle on its side with the driver requiring extrication. Engine 204 was the extrication engine from Alexandria and its crew had already begun vehicle stabilization. The officer of R109 (Mayer) conferred with the Alexandria EMS personnel who advised that they had a stable patient and requested roof removal to allow for best access to the patient. The crew from R109 then assisted E204 with vehicle stabilization using the Paratech air shores and ratchet straps and then chaining the vehicle to the winch on E204 using a come-along to apply tension. Rescue 206 arrived and worked along side with the crew from R109 to create a roof flap therefore allowing the driver to be removed, immbolized and transported to the hospital. Other units operating on scene were: E202, E203, Support 202 and B211.

Note: This incident was very similar to the recent trimester training on vehicle stabilization!!!
