At 9:19pm this evening Shrewsbury Volunteers Rescue Squad 61 was dispatched to assist Loganville Engine 63-1, Glen Rock Rescue Squad 59 and EMS units on location of a vehicle accident with entrapment. On arrival Rescue Squad 61 personnel met with Loganville Command and integrated into the rescue operation with Glen Rock members already at work. Together all personnel removed the roof, doors and made access to the occupants who were trapped. The vehicle was against a tree and partially down a slope which made access difficult. A grip hoist was utilized to pull the vehicle away from the tree giving additional access for rescue personnel. After approximately 40 minutes all occupants were removed from the vehicle and the incident was scaled back.
Firefighters and rescue personnel from three different departments operated on the incident along with EMS personnel. Personnel worked together and initiated several plans to make the extrication successful. All members on location send their thoughts and prayers to the family and occupants involved in tonights incident.
