Icy Weather Keeps Morning Volunteers Busy

On Wednesday, January 12, 2005 at 0620 hours, the volunteers from Moyers Corners Stations 3, 2, and 4 were dispatched for a Motor Vehicle Accident with injuries (Signal 80) in the area of Buckley Road and Henry Clay Blvd.  Units arrived to find a two car MVA with 1 person trapped, requiring light extrication.  Engine 22 (Lt. Driscoll) split the crew to assess hazards in both vehicles and to assist with patient care.  Rescue 3 (Dembowski) arrived and handled the extrication.  Rescue 4 (Capt. Crispin) assisted with patient care of the lone occupant of vehicle 2.  NOVA provided 2 ambulances, MCFD fire police had the road shut down along with assistance from the Onondaga County Sheriffs Department.  Extrication was completed within 10 minutes and units cleared within 35 minutes.  Car 1 (Bressette) and Car 3 (E. Wisnowski) provided the command.

A couple hours later, the volunteers were again dispatched for an MVA with up to 15 vehicles involved (including a school bus), a pole down, with minor injuries on Heritage Drive between Morgan Road and Wetzel Road.  Engine 22 (Capt. Wisnowski), Rescue 4 (Filow), and Engine 41 (Zeppetello) arrived to find a multiple vehicle accident with a pole down.  All hazards were mitigated, refusals taken, and units cleared within 30 minutes.
