Batt 3 Wreck Kills 2

Shortly after 7PM on Monday, July 26th, Moyers Corners Stations 2 & 3 were summoned to West Taft Road with a cross of Bear for a MVA with injuries. Rescue 3 (Lt. Liberatore), Engine 22 (Lt. Patkochis) and C-1 (Chief Bressette) responded with a staffing of 9. They arrived with NOVA and NAVAC ambulances to find the end results of a T-bone accident.

Initial size-up determined 2 critical patients and 3 patients with non-life threatening injuries. Crews teamed up to assist the ambulance crews in working the trauma patients while Command requested additional resources of Engine 21 (Capt. Naum), Squad 3 (FF S. Wisely) and 2 ambulances from Rural/Metro in Syracuse.

Once the Trauma patients were loaded and several combination crews of Fire/EMS responders headed to hospitals, efforts were concentrated on packaging the 3 BLS patients.

Once all patient care was completed, the scene was secured for investigation by OCSD. Companies cleared within 2 hours. Both trauma patients, despite efforts of the crews, subsequently passed away.
