At 1541 hours Station 7, EMS Station 79, EMS Station 19 and the Medic unit were dispatched to Three Notch Rd and Jones Wharf Rd for a Motor Vehicle Accident. Rescue Squad 7 responded shortly after dispatch with 5 volunteers and arrived on the scene within 3 minutes of the call. The Crew found 2 vehicles involved with one patient trapped inside a car. The Rescue Squad crew along with the crew of Engine 72 utilized the "HURST" Rescue Tools to extricate the patient within 10 minutes of their arrival. After further evaluation from EMS the patient was determined to be a Category "B" Trauma and the Helicopter was called for the transport. Engine 72 handled the Landing Site for Trooper 7 who flew one patient to PG Trauma while 2 additional patients were transported by ground to St Mary's Hospital. Within 45 minutes Command was terminated and all Station 7 units were back in quarters. Lt. Bean held the Hollywood Command.
