| At 0810 hours on Friday October 3, 2008, Chief 6 (Riffe), Chief 6B (Montgomery), Chief 6C (Hayes), Squad 6 (Lt Thrasher), Engine 62 (S/O Bowen), and Ambulance 69 (Morgan) were alerted for the overturned vehicle at Route 2 and C. Jones Road. In addition, Dunkirk Squad 5, Ambulance 58, and Medic 104 were brought to the call. Units arrived to find a single-vehicle "SUV" overturned with the driver trapped, child self-extricated. With Squad 5 working on stabilizing the vehicle with the Paratech struts, the crew from Squad 6 went to work removing the driver's side door with the HURST "O" cutters and "Maverick Combi" tool. Both crews worked together in the operation removing the patient. The two patients were loaded into the rear of Ambulance 69 and transported to Calvert Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Units cleared at 0854 hours.
