 Rescue Engine 1 on a Trap (Again)
On February 6th, 2006 at 0839, units were dispatched for a reported auto accident with entrapment on the Woods Rd. off Evergreen Mill Road, south of Leesburg. As units marked up, they were advised by Loudoun ECC of an overturned vehicle with one reported trapped. Tanker 1 responded from the Training Center, and Rescue Engine 1 marked up from Station 20.
Tanker 1 arrived at 0851 and established "Woods Road Command". Captain Wilson reported a SUV overturned in the roadway with one confirmed entrapment. Due to the limited access and road conditions, units had to park away from the scene to make room for the Rescue Engine. BC 2 (Colby-LCFR) arrived soon after and command was transferred to him. Once Rescue Engine 1 arrived, the crew stabilized the vehicle using the Res-Q-Jacks and cribbing, and took 1 door to free the patient. The patient was then transferred to the care of Medic 13-3.
Units then picked up, and command was terminated.

Leesburg VFC Co. 1
Tanker 1
Rescue Engine 1
Loudoun VRS #13
Medic 13-3

Okay, now how did we ever survive without the Res-Q-Jack system? And how do we get paid for all the publicity we're giving them?
