For those interested, here're my notes from the incident (listening to it only; not involved in the op).

2304 - The inner loop of the capital beltway (Interstate 495), Rescue Squad 47 (Fort Washington/Selesia station) overturned while responding to a personal injury accident on the new Woodrow Wilson Bridge. A total of 3 helicopters (Maryland State Police Troopers 2 and 8, US Park Police Eagle 1; for medevac purposes) and *4* rescue squads have been requested to extricate the 2 pinned or trapped firefighters. The 2 firefighters who’re pinned are believed to be trauma patients. I’m not sure yet what trauma center(s) they’ll be transported to.

As of 2301, both patients have been extricated from RS47.

2305 - 4th helicopter – 3 firefighters to be flown out.

2307 - EMS14, RS to extricate one more (IL @ RS47).

2313 – HZMT30 to stage @ 21 (Oxon Hill). 15 – 20 bags of absorbent (fuel?)

2314 – TPR2, 2 FFs to an unk trauma center.

2315 - 3 traumas on the squad, 1 civilian.

2316 – Priority request for boards & collars, per EMS14.

2317 - 329, 429, 2 medics from AFD. Pt from original crash. Head trauma.

2328 – Cmd post is on the new bridge.
IL has 4 traumas. All being flown ATT.

2337 – TPR7 clearing. 5 pts being flown.
Eagle 1, PGTC.
TPR2, PGTC
TPR8, 30M to Med* (civilian)
A238, driver of RS47 for a checkup.
A219, PGHC, pri 3 (civilian)

2340 – All patients loaded for transport

Suzukirider...

154.16 will usually simulcast 7A
153.95 will usually simulcast 7B

BOTH simulcasts can be changed at the dispatchers console to patch whatever they want through...
