RESCUE ENGINE 33 RUNS A FATAL ACCIDENT WITH AN ADDITIONAL OCCUPANT PINNED: 400 BLOCK OF BRIGHTSEAT ROAD
   
   
Tuesday, July 20, 2010

This morning at 1006 hours, the rescue local alarm was transmitted for the motor vehicle accident with one trapped in the 400 block of Brightseat Road. Units on the alarm consisted of Engine Companies 46, 37, Rescue Engine 33 (as the Squad Company) and several EMS units. Units arrived to find a two-vehicle accident with two patients trapped and/or pinned in one vehicle. The Rescue Engine arrived seconds later, assessed the scene and immediately stabilized the vehicle with the trapped occupants. The first occupant was in the driver seat and was no longer breathing. The crew from Rescue Engine 33 quickly removed the driver side door and "B"-post to rapidly remove him. The pinned occupant (no. 2) was in the rear passenger area underneath the top portion of the driver seat. The crew continued to remove the entire driver side and had to cut the top portion on the driver seat out to gain access. The second occupant was removed and care was transferred to awaiting EMS personnel. The extrication took a total of 12 minutes to complete. Rescue Engine 33 returned to service within 45 minutes. One occupant did perish during the collision.
