| Sunday July 18, 2010 at 1400 hours, Chief 6A (Montgomery), Chief 6C (Morris), Squad 6 (Montgomery Jr), Engine 62 (Safety Officer McKenny) and Ambulance 69 (Fitzgerald) were alerted for the overturned vehicle on Ponds Wood Road. Units arrived to find a Ford Explorer on its side with two occupants trapped inside. 8 other occupants (several pediatrics) had already self-extricated. As Command was being established and additional EMS were requested, the Squad crew went to work stabilizing the vehicle with wedges and Paratech Struts while Engine 62 stood-by with a charged attack line. The crew from Squad 6 utilized both "O" Cutters, the Maverick combi-tool, Spreaders, 1 Ram and the saw-zall to remove both driver side doors, the windshield and to flap the roof. A total of 10 patients were transported by 5 seperate ambulances from Huntingtown VFD, North Beach VFD, Dunkirk VFD and Prince Frederick VRS. Units operated on the scene until 1500 hours.
