Water Incident New Market

New Market, 1739 Shipwreck Dr. Swiftwater rescue 15 with 2 boats and Co 18 with 1 boat enrt for a man in the water. Other units already on scene. I missed the first transmissions, but it sounds like the man is under a lawn mower. I believe this would be the North Fork of the Shenandoah.

1926- Patient is in a boat and being transported to an ambulance.

I-81 Closed

NB I-81 at MM 296, 3 semis and a car in a crash with fire visible from several miles away, at least 2 burn patients and entrapment. Shenandoah W5-1, W9 and Middletown Co 12 O/S. Air Care enrt if weather permits. Large fuel leak with Hazmat enrt.

Earlier a semi was turned over near the Middletown interchange and NB I-81 was closed. The new one is probably in the backup. Air Care could not fly DT weather and the PT went to Winchester by ground.

2239 I-81 closure will be for an extended period of time. Operations are on F6, 453.225
2241 Diverting helos back to the scene. LZ is at Strasburg Moose Lodge. Aircare 4 and 5 enrt. 4 is 15 minutes out.
2247 Air Care 3 declined due to weather. Pegasus and MEDSTAR declined DT weather. Still looking for a 2nd helo.
2306 Air Care 4 on the ground. Air Care 5 coming from Harrisonburg, about 15 minutes out. 2nd PT has 30% burns (their words).
2314 AC 4 going to University of VA. Frederick Co sending Company 15 from Round Hill and another pumper from Middletown. VSP having trouble with more than one mobile repeater on the air at the scene.
