Engine 32 was in the area doing driver's training and marked up. Engine 32 arrived on the scene at 1517 and started stabilizing the vehicle and confirmed two patients trapped in the vehicle. Engine 32 pulled a 1 3/4 line for safety during the extrication. Engine 141 and Engine 42 arrived and the crews went to work together to extricate the victims. Due to the patients injuries and the mechanism of the crash a helicopter was called to the scene. Engine 43 handled the landing zone, and as the patients were given proper assessment from the EMS crews it was determined that they had two patients that were priority 1 so a second trooper was called to the scene. Trooper 7 and Trooper 2 both medivaced the patients to area trauma centers and the other patients were transported to St. Mary's Hospital. The crews performed a complete roof removal along with all the doors and "B" Post. Extrication was completed at 1537 hours. The wagon crew operated on the scene for about an hour before returning to quarters. While the Volunteers operated at the scene back at the Station we held two additional crews for other responses in our area.
