Engine 11 deployed a hoseline to protect the scene and then secured vehicle. AC11 took charge of Operations. Personnel from Squad 15 began extrication of the patient with Engine 11′s crew backing up the work.
Engine 18 established a landing zone at a nearby school. After freeing the individual from the driver’s side area, the patient was turned over to Medic 15 for transport to the LZ where a MedStar helicopter was waiting.
