On Saturday afternoon, the Union Fire Company No. 1 was alerted for two accidents within minutes of each other. The first was on Rt 472 at the Rt 1 Bypass and the second was on Rt 10 at Rt 1.
Deputy 21 and Rescue 21 made the response to the first accident and found it to be minor.
Engine 21-2 made the response to the second crash and went on the scene with a two vehicle accident with one confined. Lieutenant 21B took Command and requested a second ambulance to the scene.
Rescue 21 and the Deputy re-routed to the second accident, where Deputy 21 took over Command and asked for a helicopter to be placed on standby.
The crews of Rescue 21 and Engine 21-2 worked together with EMS crews to extricate the patient by taking the doors and roof off the car. Once the patient was removed, they were taken to the Landing Zone that was established by Engine 21-3.
All 21 Units were clear and available just before 2PM.
