On April 6, 2007, 6 hours after clearing the kitchen fire, at 1632 hours, Rescue Box 609 was alerted for the minor auto accident in front of 6121 Stephen Reid Road. Captain 6 (Patin), Squad 6 (S/O Bowen), Engine 62 (Morris), and Ambulance 69 (Morgan) arrived to find a single-vehicle wrapped around a tree with the driver trapped with several traumatic injuries. Captain 6 established the Command as the Squad crew immediately went to work. The crew utilized the 32" Jaws, Maverick Combo tool, and both sets of "O" cutters to remove the driver's side door, "B" post, and entire roof to free the driver. This took less than 7 minutes and the driver was handed over to awaiting EMS. The patient was transported by Trooper 2 to PG Shock Trauma. Engine 62 handled the Landing Zone. Command was terminated at 1715 hours.
