Description Of Incident: MVA Injures, Extrication, by the maintenance road MVA Rollover report of one trapped in car
Emergency crews responded on Sunday afternoon to a motor vehicle accident on the Hutchinson River Parkway northbound, between Exit 14 and the merge with the Cross County Parkway Eastbound. The dangerous curve on the Hutch added another car to its crash count as the Pontiac sedan flew off the roadway, overturning and landing more than 50 feet into the woods, coming to rest against a tree. The car had a total of five occupants; four adults and one child; all but one adult were found walking around outside the vehicle; the fifth victim required minor extrication by rescue crews.
The multi-agency dispatch sent emergency crews from the two closest districts: Eastchester and New Rochelle. Medical Operations were headed by Eastchester EMS Chief Mikos, 57-11, alongside the Eastchester EMS Paramedic, 57-M1, as well as all three ambulances from Eastchester EMS (EVAC). Westchester County Police also responded to the scene.
After all patients were extricated from the crash scene and brought out of the woods to street level, EMS Command took over patient care as various members from Eastchester EMS took on designated roles in mass casualty operations to render care to all five victims of the crash, ensuring they received top-notch, undivided pre-hospital care. Transport decisions were made to transport all patients to a local trauma center after being stabilized in the ambulances. All patients sustained only minor injuries.

Up at the Crack of Dawn the next day and headed over to Station 127. Home of the show Emergency! I shot everything I possibly could. The LA County Fire Museum had expected 500 people to show up. Over TWO THOUSAND showed up. I had to wait in line two and a half hours just to buy a few things for friends. Here we go.
Light Force 127, present residents.


Mobile Command and a Crew Carrier.


Tender, USAR, and Heavy Lift Rescue 103.




Ok, I've teased you all enough. Here's the 1965 Crown used in the first two seasons of the show. It was marked for Engine 60 in Universal, and covered with 51 for shooting.
This thing stopped on 223rd Street and let out a backfire that nearly scared me outta my shorts.


The 1972 Ward La France Ambassador. This is the first time these rigs have been in this firehouse in over 30 years.


After a two and a half hour wait, and emptying my wallet with gifts for friends. The highlight for the fans. Randy "John Gage" Mantooth, and Captain Mike Stoker (LACoFD, Ret.)

If this is a problem, have you suggested using plain English on the radio to your superiors? The defunct definition of "10-20" in Westchester County is "respond with caution." If you want operators who are no longer trained to use ten-codes to advise your units to "respond non-emergency," perhaps you should tell them exactly that.
In my experience with 60 Control, using the words, "working fire" or "10-75" will prompt the operator to upgrade the incident to the predetermined first alarm assignment, if one exists, in the CAD. It seems as simple as using a couple of magic words after the initial size up.

It's the education and training the individual receives that makes a difference. Maturity, not age, is the key. With that maturity comes an attitude of responsibility, something I didn't fully understand until I found myself mentoring others.
You can take EVOC and have an instructor that reads the powerpoint to you, throws numbers at you and then has you drive for maybe 20-30 minutes weaving around some cones. The general attitude of everyone in this environment: Is it over yet?
BUT - if you start the presentation with case studies that include photos of the accidents, the victims, the loved ones left behind - you'll increase the chances of grabbing your audiences' attention. Tell them how FF Smith crashed the Engine into a minivan and killed a woman driving her two kids and their two friends to soccer. Tell them how FF Smith was arrested and sent to jail, how he tried killing himself after being sued and losing everything, how his depression led him to lose his wife who took their son and moved away. MAKE IT HIT HOME FOR EVERYONE IN THE CLASS / DRILL.
When I was younger, a lot of the training given to me was a far, FAR cry from the guidance provided today. Thinking back to my Essentials class, I think I (and many others) showed up late, got out early, napped and basically didn't pay attention. When I took EVOC, I was a little older and just started to drive our apparatus. I only knew two things: I had to get to the firehouse first to drive and everyone moves for a fire engine going lights & siren. Man was I wrong! I was lucky to have Mike Wilbur as my initial EVOC instructor, who truly knows what he is talking about and isn't just reading me an Instructor's Manual. While I took some of what he said as "yeah, that can't happen here or happen to me" - I've learned over time that he was 100% right.
In the 14+ years I've been a driver, I have made mistakes driving our rigs and am thankful that none of those mistakes led to any accidents or injuries. I remember (and I know some of my other members know what I am talking about) driving our Engine to a Mutual Aid call once, with the pedal to the floor going over 70 MPH down a steep and pitched hill. I was convinced I was rolling the rig and killing everyone - luckily that didn't happen. When we arrived on scene, I was so upset with my driving that I was of no use to anyone. What if I did crash? What if I actually survived and had to live with hurting or killing all of my friends - and in a few of these cases - family members?!
Whether it's driving, pumping, doing traffic, or putting water on fires - we have to take it seriously and get the best teachers we can. We owe it to ourselves to be educated and ready for the worst days we'll have.
Sometimes, too, we have to play the role of the "bad guy" and tell someone they can't do something. Since I am not one of those people that looks forward to ever being told I can't do something, I dread when the time comes I have to tell someone that something they've been doing for a long time - or something their heart is set on - that they can't do it. But part of the job I was elected to do is to be that bad guy once in a while. I find myself sometimes thinking that it's amazing I have made it this long, and I can only hope others can learn from the mistakes I have made.
I ain't perfect - none of us are - but the bad decisions and the memories of "what the "f" was I thinking should help all of us to prevent others from making those same follies - and hopefully keep them alive another day.
If your drivers are fully aware of the ramifications that can and do happen if they have an accident, AND those sitting in the Officer's Seat are aware that they too could be held liable for the driver's actions - then by all means, let them drive.
I really hate to put it this way - but scaring the s*** out of your drivers is the best way to make them realize how huge of a responsibility it is to drive.
