Overnight 80 Pins 2

At 00:12 hours on Tuesday, June 29, 2004, Moyers Corners Stations 3 and 2 were dispatched for the police on location reporting an MVA and requesting 3 ambulances at the intersection of Henry Clay Blvd. and W. Taft Road (in front of MCFD St. 3).  Within minutes, Car 3 (Chief Wisnowski), MCFD R-3 (Lt. Dembowski), Car 1 (Chief Bressette), and MCFD E22 (Lt. Driscoll) arrived to find a 3 car MVA with multiple injuries.  MCFD R-3 confirmed 2 people trapped (in separate vehicles) and command (Chief Wisnowski) requested an additional heavy rescue company.  This brought MCFD R-4 and the closest next due heavy rescue company, Liverpool R-1.  MCFD E21 (Capt. Race) responded with additional in-house staffing as multiple handlines were deployed to both extrication sites (being approximately 75 feet apart with fuel spills).

Extrication 1:  After collision, the pick-up rolled over several times into the tractor trailer truck pinning the lone occupant.  MCFD R-3 had the extrication.  Once the vehicle was stabilized, the patient became combative and decided to self extricate himself.  After this process, the patient became extremely combative and had decided to climb on and jump between the roofs of the nearby vehicles and apparatus.  The police with assistance of the E22 members, laddered the nearby ambulance in an attempt to gain access to the awaiting victim.  Victim at that time was taken to the awaiting ambulance.

Extrication 2:  After an off-center collision with the pick-up, the compact car came to rest in a field approximately 25 feet off the road.  LVP R-1 had the extrication of one individual.  The roof was removed, doors popped, and patient removed to awaiting ambulance.

All patients were extricated and sent to awaiting ambulances within 25 minutes.  Units remained on scene for some time to assist in the police investigation and flush job.  Responding ambulances included NOVA, NAVAC, and Rural Metro.  We would also like to thank the Onondaga County Sheriffs Department, Town of Clay, and Liverpool Police agencies for their assistance with scene safety and traffic control.
