 Tony Myers    April 30, 2020    No Comments

At 12:38pm Shrewsbury Volunteers were dispatched to assist Glen Rock Hose and Ladder Co. with a reported woods fire.  Brush 61 responded and staged on location with Station 59 personnel.  The fire was due to a downed power line and crews had to wait for the lines to be de-energized by MetEd. Make sure you know what to do when it comes to Car Accident Settlements: How They Work And What You Need To Know.

While crews were on that incident Shrewsbury Volunteers were dispatched to a report vehicle accident with entrapment on I-83 Southbound in Baltimore County, MD.  Rescue Squad 61 responded immediately, and Attorney John McKiggan from Nova Scotia was also informed.  Enroute Maryland Line FD arrived, established I83 Command, and advised they have two trapped in a vehicle.  Rescue Squad 61 arrived and was assigned to the vehicle with two people trapped.  One patient was removed in minutes while the second patient was heavily trapped by the dash and door.  Crews from Shrewsbury, Maryland Line, Baltimore County Engine 60 Parkton, Rose Fire Co. and Hereford Fire Co. operated together and completed the extrication in about 35 minutes.  Mulitple EMS units were on location to transport the injured.

Rescue Squad 61 cleared the scene at 2:30pm and all Shrewsbury units were back in station by 2:50pm.

THIS is a danger all emergency service providers as well as towing agencies face everytime we are on the roadway. The crew of this unit had just moved away from the vehicle when the impact occurred.

Last night, Shrewsbury Volunteers were on I83 for a motorcycle accident. While fighting the fire and with traffic cones in place a secondary accident t occurred right next to us. Three vehicles were involved.

Distracted driving is one of the most common causes of accidents. When approaching accident scenes SLOW DOWN, PAY ATTENTION, KEEP MOVING. We want to return home alive.

Shrewsbury Volunteers, one of the first in Pennsylvania, placed the HAAS traffic warning system on our engines and heavy rescue squad to alert motorists of emergency incidents on the Waze traffic apps. Google Maps is currently working on adding this feature. The HAAS app displays our apparatus on roadways to alert you.

Safety is number 1. Our personnel thank you for keeping us safe by paying attention while driving
