Another Entrapment on 183

Friday, November 24, 2006

At 8:26 AM, Car and Rescue #27 responded to assist Bethel Station #54 to Route #183 for another entrapment call.  Crews arrived at the scene which was on the "top of the mountain" at the Berks/Schuylkill line to find a full-size pickup on its roof with the driver trapped up-side down in his seat.  The rescue crew went to work and performed stabilization, hazard control, and door removals, to remove the occupant.

The subject was extricated and transferred to the care of Bethel Ambulance and Schuylkill Valley Medics.  Crews cleared the scene after about an hour.
