Time: 0715hrs (approx)
Location: Mount Airy Rd & Moores Hill Rd 
District: Vails Gate 

Battalion: 4

Channel: 

Weather: Hot/Humid 
Units: VGFD Car-3 (IC), R480, E479, NWEMS/ALS
Writer: BFD1054

Description: Single car MVA/Car into a tree with entrapment 

 

Crews worked to remove both front doors. The drivers legs were pinned under the dash, so the Holmatro spreaders and chains were used for a dash roll. 

 

*Side note; VGFD responded to this incident with minimum manpower. R480 had a chauffeur, officer and 2 firefighters, while E479 responded with a chauffeur, officer and 1 firefighter. Car-3 was on scene in command. Members had the victim extricated within 16 minutes. 

I was not at this incident, but I am proud of my VGFD brothers on a job well done.
