This afternoon WHRS units and Whitehouse Fire were dispatched to the individual with their arm stuck underneath a vehicle. Rescue BLS 22-55 and BLS 22-52 responded immediately followed by Heavy Rescue 22-5.
Units arrived on scene to find officers from Readington Police Department with the patient in the backyard. Rescue BLS 22-55 was able to navigate through a number of objects to get hydraulic tools right next to the patient.
Rescue BLS 22-55’s operator began setting up the tools while Rescue Technician’s began cribbing the vehicle. Hydraulic Spreaders were used to lift the vehicle enough to free the patients arm. The patient was extricated in less than 4 minutes from Rescue BLS 22-55’s arrival. The patient was transferred to BLS 22-52 for transport to a local hospital with non life threatening injuries. Rescue BLS 22-55 is unique as it carries a heavier compliment of rescue tools while having patient transport capability.
