07/10/07 - Vehicle Rollover

 

As volunteers were clearing from the fuel spill on Highway 231 the alarm was put out for the overturned vehicle also on Highway 231 at the southern end of the first due area. Engine 4 and Rescue 4 responded with 6 volunteers and were joined by the BMVFD EMS Supervisor who responded with 2 additional personnel. Units arrived to find one vehicle on its side only 15 feet from where a vehicle came to rest after overturning three weeks ago (see 6-19-2007). Once again, the driver was able to free themselves prior to BMVFD arrival and fortunately was uninjured. Volunteers remained on the scene for 30 minutes until the arrival of the Alabama State Troopers.
