Oct 08, 2002 - 12:00 am
At 1811, Battalion 1 was dispatched to a reported Signal 80. After some confusion, the location was determined to be on Route 31 just east of the CSX Fulton Rail Road Tracks per fire control. On arrival, Engine 11 (Lt. Fritz) found four patients to package, and two vehicles. One had heavy front-end damage and was occupied by three. The other had severe driver side damage with the occupant out of the vehicle, and a ruptured fuel tank. Engine 11's crew quickly stretched a line to protect the scene. Rescue 4 (Lt. Zeppetello) arrived shortly thereafter. The crew from Rescue 4 began packaging patients, and Squad 4 (FF Whiting) was specialed to assist Rescue 4. All crews returned to service after an hour.
Assisting agencies were NOVA, GBAC, Onondaga County Sheriff's Dept. and the NYS Police.
