B-Shift: 2 Hours, 2 Cuts

At approximately 0900 the station was alerted for a Car vs. Pole on Route 537. Members from the B-Shift arrived shortly thereafter and began patient care and the side removal of both sides of the vehicle. The removal of both patients was complete in under 15 minutes. After returning to the station and completing a clean-up on the rescue tools, the station was alerted to 280 Millstone Rd for a Car vs. Pole at 1006. B-Shift firefighters were on scene within 4 minutes and found a van that struck a telephone pole, went through a fence, and ended up in a field. After an initial size-up, initiation of patient care, and removal of the drivers door, the patient was turned over to EMS for transport. On a side note this was the 5th and 6th extrication for the year for the B-shifters.
