First Entrapment of Year

January 6, 2005 - At 0934 hours, Company 7 was dispatched to Route 4 and Saw Mill Road for a vehicle overturned with all subjects out of the vehicle.  Ambulance 78 arrived on location to find a delivery truck overturned with one subject trapped, and requested another squad and a medic unit.  The Squad crew worked stabilizing the vehicle and started extrication by cutting all the posts on the top portion of the truck.  Due to the subjects foot being pinned under the truck, air bags were used to lift the truck off the patient's foot.  The extricated patient was taken to CMH along with the other three subjects in the vehicle.  The Squad and Engine remained on the scene to aid with clean up before returning to service at 1126 hours.
