At 1415 hours Company's 9, 7, 83 (Raft), 79, and 39 were alerted to 44575 Wildewood Parkway for the Personal Injury Accident with one vehicle into a pond. Engine 92 was the first Fire/EMS unit on the scene advising the car was in the water a little bit. Squad 7 (Capt. Lloyd), and Chief 7 (Albert) arrived soon after as Chief 7 assumed Operations as Chief 9B held the Command. Squad 7 stabilized the vehicle, and removed the door to gain access to the patient who was trapped inside. The crews worked together to remove the subject and safely move the patient into the Ambulance. Units operated on the scene for a short time later before returning to service.
