At 8:39 pm last night, Company 20 and assisting Township companies were dispatched to State Rd. and Mason Ave., in our first-due, for an accident with entrapment. Rescue 20 (Assistant Chief B. Tully) and Engine 20-2 were on the street in seconds and, while enroute, were advised by Fireboard that medics were on location requesting a "rapid extrication" due to possible severe injuries. 20-9 (Chief Hoban) arrived first to find a 2 vehicle head-on accident with the driver of one vehicle trapped. Rescue 20 arrived, quickly stabilized the vehicle, and went in service with several hydraulic tools to free the trapped driver. Engine 20-2 was right behind the Rescue and stretched a precautionary 1 3/4" handline as well as secured hazards. The Rescue crew had the victim freed within minutes and assisted the medics with packaging. Two patients were transported to local hospitals by EMS. Company 20 then remained on the scene for nearly 3 hours to assist the police with lights during their investigation, as well as to clean debris off the highway. The Volunteers were back in the Station around 11:30 pm.

Judy presented the members with gold pocket watches, specially designed with fire department insignia. We'd like to thank Judy for attending the meeting and for her very generous gifts! ...
