By Firefighter Ernest Rogers
January 6, 2008

At 1811 hours Company 7, EMS Station 79, and 29 were dispatched in front of 26575 North Sandgates Road for the Personal Injury Accident. Initial reports advised one overturned in front of that address. Squad 7 (F/F Nelson) responded a few moments later along with Engine 72 (F/F Insley). The EMS unit out of 79 was first to arrive on the scene advising one trapped. Squad 7 arrived next on the scene and went to work. Engine 72 arrived to the destination a few moments after assuming the North Sandgates Command. The vehicle had went off road and struck a tree sending it on it's side with only one subject inside the vehicle. The crew split up and the first crew used Paratech Struts to stabilize the vehicle, as the second crew began to gain entry so medical personnel could gain access to the subject once the vehicle was stabilized. Once those task's had been completed the crew went to work taking the roof and folding it down. Firefighters then had to cut the steering wheel as the subjects lower body was trapped under the wheel and pedals. Within a few minutes the crew had extricated the subject out of the vehicle and transported them to the hangar where Trooper 7, along with Engine 21 (Mechanicsville) were awaiting for the Landing Site. Firefighters remained on the scene and returned home at 1924 hours.
