Friday, July 18 at approximately 3:34 pm:
E4 and R1 were dispatched on a
report of a personal injury accident. Upon arrival crew members found two
vehicles that had been involved in an offset frontal collision with one vehicle
still in the roadway and another in the tree line. EMS arrived on scene with E4
and assumed patient care. Two people were transported non-emergency to an area
hospital to receive treatment for minor injuries. Once all PT care had been
provided, E4 remained on scene to assist with traffic control and opening the

Monday, July 21 at approximately 9:15 am:
E3, R1 and C2 were dispatched on
a report of a possible gas leak. Initial
dispatch information indicated that a natural gas line had ruptured outside of
a home. Upon arriving on scene BFR
personnel made contact with a construction crew who indicated that they struck
the gas line while working. The gas
supply was turned off at the meter for the home, which stopped the leak. E3 requested that the gas company respond to
the scene. With no further hazards all
BFR units returned to service.
Tuesday, July 22 at approximately 10:52 am:
E3 was dispatched on a medical
call for a report of an unconscious patient.
Fire and EMS crews arrived on scene together and found an unresponsive
patient in cardiac arrest. CPR was
immediately initiated and an advanced airway was put in place. BFR personnel assisted EMS with intra osseous
access and cardiac drug administration.
The patient was secured to a backboard and moved to the ambulance for
further on scene care. EMS and BFR
personnel continued to provide advanced life support while on scene until
transport was initiated. EMS transported
the patient emergency traffic to a local hospital with one firefighter aboard
to assist with care.
