  On Sunday June 24th around 10pm Madison Township Medic, Engine and Battalion 181 were dispatched along with Columbus Rescue 4 and EMS 14 on an Auto Accident on State Route 33 westbound at Ebright Road.  The arriving companies discovered a pickup truck on it’s top with the roof caved in.  They could not see into the cab and there was no response to their calls. 

   Rescue 4 advised the dispatcher this would be a “working extrication” and that a second Rescue, Medic and MedFlight helicopter would be needed.  Engine 181 stretched a handline for protection of the EMS and Rescue crews and put up additional on-scene lighting.  Battalion 181 arrived and assumed “Route 33 Command”.  Additional equipment dispatched included Safety Officer 2 and Battalion 6.  EMS 14 suggested a second engine or ladder company be dispatched to establish a landing zone for the helicopter.

   After Rescue 4 managed to peel back the passengers’ door, both passengers were apparently awaken and managed to crawl out under their own power.  They were immobilized in place first by the Medic and the second by the Engine/Rescue.  Medic 182 was the second Medic to arrive but all additional equipment was cancelled.
