| Tuesday November 25, 2008 at 2042 hours, Chief 6A (Spriggs), Chief 6B (Montgomery), Squad 6 (Nasti), Engine 62 (Cox, D), and Ambulance 69 (Fitzgerald) were alerted for the overturned vehicle in the vicinity of 730 Dalrymple Road. The 18 Huntingtown Volunteers arrived to find a mini-van, down an enbankment, on it's side, with the lone occupant trapped. Crews immediately split into teams, stabilizing the vehicle with the Paratech struts, while the 2nd crew began extricating the driver. This was accomplished by using the saw-zall to remove the windshield, and both sets of HURST "O" cutters to "flap" the roof. Once completed, the patient was packaged and transported to Calvert Memorial Hospital by Ambulance 69. The Huntingtown Volunteers remained on the scene until 2117 hours.
