 SOUTHINGTON, CT - On June 9, 2010 the Stamford Fire Department and AMR were dispatched for a rollover into a waterway with people possibly trapped inside. Upon arrival they found a car lying on its passenger side in a waterway with one victim in the vehicle. Stamford Police Department and bystanders were helping stabilize the vehicle by hand. Command requested Rescue 1 be brought to the scene since crews responded from their training session in the ladder and engine. Command then requested DEP be dispatched to the scene.
As Rescue 1 arrived, crews from Ladder 1 tied the vehicle off to the ladder truck with rope. ResQjacks were then set up to stabilize the vehicle. Crews then put booms into the water to collect any hazards.
The pt was then removed through the drivers side door and carried to a waiting ems crew. The pt was assessed and refused care and transport. Crews stayed on scene until the vehicle was removed and all hazards were mitigated.
