Here is an overview of
significant events from this period’s activites:
Sunday, February 10 at approximately 10:47 am:
E2 was dispatched on a report of
injuries from a fall on a bike path. Due
to the location of the PT, neither the fire truck nor the ambulance was able to
drive directly to them, necessitating hiking the equipment to the scene. Upon
arrival at the PT crew members began a rapid trauma assessment which revealed
an obvious deformity to the PT’s elbow and tenderness in the PT’s ankle. Crew
members quickly splinted the injuries and prepared the PT for transport. PD was
able to gain access to the area with a patrol car which was used to remove the
PT to the awaiting ambulance for non-emergency transport to an area hospital.
Sunday, February 10 at approximately 12:42 pm:
All BFR units were dispatched on
a report of a possible structure fire. E4 arrived first on scene and
established incident command. The occupants were out of the home and reported
that food inside their oven was burning but that the oven had been turned off.
E4 made entry into the home and found a pan of burning oil. All other
responding units were cancelled. The burning oil was extinguished and removed
from the structure. There was significant smoke, so crew members set up the
positive pressure fan to ventilate the structure. With no further hazards found
command was terminated and all companies returned to their previous
assignments.
