On Wednesday, April 29, 2009 at 9:05 PM, the Purchase Fire Department was dispatched to a motor vehicle accident with extrication at the intersection of Westchester Avenue and Webb Avenue. Responding units were advised by 60 Control that Harrison PD was on location confirming the extrication. Units arrived to find a Chevy Cobalt resting on its driver side with one patient trapped inside. Rescue 30 immediately began stabilization efforts using the Res-Q-Jack system while Engine 240 stretched a protective 1 3/4" handline and Engine 238 blocked the roadway. Crews then performed a partial roof removal to gain access to the patient. Two patients were transported by Harrison EMS to the Westchester Medical Center ALS. 2411 had the Westchester Avenue Command.
