MVA With Injuries On Darlington Rd.

On October 4 at 2:30 in the afternoon members of the Bedford Hills Volunteer Fire Department were alerted to a reported motor vehicle accident with injuries on Darlington Road. Both cars 2031 Mcgill and 2032 (Bueti) were responding within minutes followed by Engine 199 and Rescue 10. Chief Bueti was on location first and notified incoming units that the car was off the road into a ditch and was unstable at the present time. Chief Bueti also advised both the Engine and Rescue of the make, model and year of the vehicle involved. This allowed the officers of both rigs to input the information into the Hurst Crash database on the MDT'S and utilize any pertinent points about the car involved. Once Chief Mcgill arrived on scene he established command as Chief Bueti took fire ground operations. Command radioed first due ( Engine 199) that they would need to stabilize the car with jacks and cribbing before EMS could remove the victim. The Engine crew made quick work of stabilizing the vehicle as the crew from rescue 10 assisted by utilizing the rear winch off of the engine to stabilize the car even further. Once the car was determined to be stable by operations members assisted KBHVAC with patient care and removal. BHFD crews placed the rigs back into service with all equipment as a tow arrived for the accident vehicle. Command was terminated and all Bedford Hills apparatus was placed back into service.
