Dreary Conditions Bring 4 Runs for Company 5

 March 31, 2014

Rainy and foggy conditions covered the Forest area for most of the day. The first run started at 0748 for a 2 Car MVC at Forest Road and Cottontown Road. Engine 5 Rescue 5 controlled the scene Medic 14-5 transported one patient to LGH and Medic 5-4 obtained a refusal. Second call was assisting Medic 14-5 with an EMS Call on Hooper Woods Drive at 1121. The third run of the day was at 1632 to respond to Thomas Jeffersons Poplar Forest for a fire alarm. Engine 5 arrived and encountered a smoke condition in the basement caused by a malfunctioning chimney. Units extinguished the fire in the fire box and ventilated the structure for the staff. While on this call we were assigned along with Medic 14-5 to the 19000 block of Forest Road for a 2 car MVC. Wagon 5 cleared the first call and handled this along with Rescue 5. Units secured the scene and controlled hazards while 14-5 obtained 2 patient refusals. The busy year continues for Company 5.
