Sipesville Volunteer Fire Company

At 07:15 hrs Station 607 and 900 EMS were dispatched for an MVA with injuries, involving one van rolled over in the woods. Engine 607-4 (Carr) responded and were updated that there were two people outside of the van and that it was sitting upright off the roadway. While responding updates took the number of patients from 5 to 11. Responding 900 units requested a Stage 1 MCI activation, thus adding ambulances from Stations 902, 500, 605, 606, and 623. Once crews arrived on scene they began triage and extrication of all the patients, most of which were children. Hydraulic rescue tools were deployed to gain access to the front seat passenger who was confined within the vehicle. Only three patients sustained injuries, but all were tranported to a local hospital. All available EMS units from Station 900 and 902, along with one ALS unit from Station 500 made it to the scene to assist with the accident. Other responding units from 606 and 605 were staged at the interchange and later released. All units returned in service within an hour.
