 On Wednesday, March 24, 2010, at 18:38 hours, the Baltic FD was special requested for Rescue 124 with the Res Q Jacks to respond to 5 Tyler Drive in Franklin for a industrial/machinery accident. Upon arrival, Rescue 124's crew was ordered by Franklin Command to utilize the Res Q Jacks to stabilize the boom from the Lull that had over turned until the heavy duty wrecker had arrived. Once that was completed Rescue 124's crew went to work with hydraulic tools and a Zawzall, with crews from Franklin and Lebeanon to remove the top of the skid steer so the patient could be extricated. The patient was completely extricated approx. 55 minutes from time of entrapment. The patient was transported to Backus Hospital by franklin Rescue 525 with ALS aboard. Baltic units were released a short time later.
