| At 1034hrs Wednesday morning, Ambulance 5-2-1 was dispatched to assist the Keystone Valley FD with a reported vehicle accident serious on Swan Road south of Strasburg Road in West Sadsbury Township, Chester County. Initial reports indicated a two vehicle accident possibly involving entrapment.
First arriving units, local Police and Deputy 28 (Cazillo), found the incident to be located in Atglen Borough and not in West Sadsbury Township. Due to the updated location Chester County Emergency Services notified Lancaster County 911 to have the Christiana Fire (Sta. 52) box pulled for that area. The Atglen Borough box called for Engine 52-1 and Rescue 42 for an accident response.
Engine 52 arrived minutes after dispatch and the crew was immediately updated by Deputy 28 of the ongoing operations. One patient remained trapped and was being worked on by Cochranville Rescue 27, KVFD and Brandywine Medics. Assistant 52 (Buckwalter) gathered the information and received the transfer of Swan Road Command from Deputy 28. Extrication completed at 1100hrs.
All total, two vehicles were involved with three patients transferred to the Hospital.
Swan Road Command was terminated at 1205hrs with Company 52 available. |
