***2 Entrapments & 16 calls***

It has been another busy day for the volunteers of Bladensburg; with two entrapments and 16 calls today so far.

Just before 0730 hours the engine and ambulance were dispatched to the personal injury accident on US Route 50 just after Columbia Park Road. While en route a supplement from communications advised there was now one occupant pinned between a car and the guard rail. A first arriving unit determined this was in fact the case. The engine arrived on scene and assisted with extrication while the ambulance gained entry to the car to access the patient. The patient soon lost a pulse after arriving on scene. A rapid extrication was completed after removing part of the guard rail and the patient was loaded for transport. En route to PG trauma the crew from the ambulance and medic unit were able to revive the patient and get a steady pulse back. The patient remains in critical condition. Chief 9B assisted in command throughout the incident.

Then just before 1830 hours the engine was alerted to respond to the area of Kenilworth Ave and Tuxedo Road for the personal injury accident with one reported trapped. A deadly intersection the volunteers know all too well. Arriving on scene the engine found a van that had been struck on its driver’s door with the driver trapped. Additionally there was still a patient in a sedan who had sustained injuries but was not trapped. The truck company arrived to assist in patient care while special services performed a door removal to gain access to the patient. Both patients were treated and transported to PG trauma center. Chief 9 held the command throughout the incident.

Also early this morning Chief 9B operated as Battalion Chief 884 on a fire in Beltsville, MD. ... See MoreSee Less
