R9 initially dispatched for a standby in the northbound lanes of Route 1. While arriving on location, the assignment was upgraded to an extrication. One patient was briefly trapped in the overturned tractor trailer, but was freed in under 10 minutes. The truck was carrying a tandem trailer as well, which broke free and remained in the high speed lanes. Fortunately, the overturned trailer was only carrying paper products.

Route 1 was shut down for an extended period of time. 44PD is handling the investigation.(photos courtesy of K. Richards, wpvi.com & cbs3.com) |

| Can you spot the hydrant in the snow? Once again, a reminder of how important it is to keep snow cleared away from a fire hydrant. This helpful task makes it not only easier to spot the hydrant for the arriving fire truck, but saves precious minutes and energy of a firefighter trying to connect to it. Fire hydrants are obviously a vital part of fighting fires, every second counts! |
