MINI PUMPER AND RESCUE SQUAD RUN CHILD WITH FINGER TRAPPED IN A BICYCLE
Monday, February 1, 2010 09:00
-
During the mid morning hours Mini-Pumper 33 was alerted along with an EMS unit from Station 22 (Cheverly) for a report of an injured child on Mathew Henson Ave. MP33 arrived on scene to find a 3 year old child who had removed the pedal from a bicycle and had his finger lodged in the now void hole. Seeing this they made a request for Rescue Squad 33 to lead a helping hand. Once arriving, the crew deployed the “man in the machine” kit as well as the “wizzer” air powered circular saw. The child was kept calm and protected as the crew worked to remove the pedal shaft from the bike. The metal was kept cool utilizing ice packs and even some fresh snow as the “wizzer” saw cut through the heavy gauge metal. Once detached from the bike, the child and remaining portion of the pedal shaft were transported to Children’s Hospital for further extrication.
