Transfer and Two Boxes!
The Engine Rescue took a transfer assignment to the Sykesville Fire Department for them and Reynoldsville Fire Department while they operated at a third-alarm fire in Brookville Borough.
First Box
Box 17-H
Paradise Rd. at Sheplar Rd., Henderson Township
The Engine Rescue was dispatched for an automatic crash detection activation (iPhone crash detection).
While responding, Jefferson County 911 advised the crew that attempts to call the phone back were unsuccessful. Upon arrival, the crew located a cellphone off the roadway in a grassy yard. The phone was turned over to PSP Punxsutawney.
Second Box
Box 17-G
Route 36 at Lipp Rd., Gaskill Township
Shortly after returning to the transfer assignment, the company was alerted for a vehicle into a structure.
Due to our extended response time from Sykesville, Jefferson EMS arrived first and found one patient who had self-extricated and was refusing transport to the hospital.
The Engine Rescue arrived second and assessed the scene for any stabilization needs involving the porch and checked for additional hazards. The Engine also responded to the assignment, and its crew assisted the Engine Rescue crew with operations.
