Squad 6 (Cox, D), Ambulance 69 (Nasti), and Ambulance 68 (Foresta) arrived to find a three-car collision with one patient trapped. The OIC of Squad 6 established the command as his crew immediately went to work removing the passenger side door and entire roof in less than 5 minutes. A total of 4 patients were transported to Calvert Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. One additional BLS unit (Ambulance 18; North Beach) was requested to the scene for transport. At 1215 hours, Command was terminated.
