08/21/07 - Car vs. House

 

At 12:42PM volunteers were alerted to a house on Rescue Road for a truck that had run over a female and then struck a house. Rescue 4, Rescue 1, and Engine 4 responded with 8 volunteers. Arab Ambulance and Samaritan EMS responded as well. Volunteers from Rescue 4 and Rescue 1 provided medical care to the injured female as well as making sure that the house and vehicle were stable. The crew from Engine 4 established a landing zone on Lynn's Dam Road where Huntsville Medflight was able to assume patient care and transport to the trauma center at Huntsville Hospital. Volunteers operated on the scene for just over an hour. Chief Whisenant had the Rescue Road command.
