INCIDENT ADDRESS: North Washington and West Maxwell
CITY: Spokane
STATE: WA
ZIP: 99202
NARRATIVE: On Monday, April 11, 2011 at 1:28 PM, 4 Companies of Spokane Firefighters, 2 Senior Ladders, 2 ALS Engines, AMR unit and AMR Supervisor responded to a vehicle collision with extrication at the intersection of North Washington and West Maxwell. Spokane Firefighters arrived quickly to find a high speed two vehicle collision with the passenger of one vehicle trapped due to the impact. SFD Paramedics entered the vehicle and provided ALS care to the patient while other members of the arriving truck companies mechanically extricated the passenger with hydraulic rescue tools. The most serious patient was removed from the vehicle, treated by awaiting Paramedics and transported within 10 minutes of the SFD's arrival.
While it is not routine to assign two senior ladder companies to a vehicle extrication, the ladders were two of the only remaining companies in the City at the time due to a simultaneous first alarm fire in a middle school in the North Battalion and a hazardous materials incident in the South Battalion.
PROBABLE CAUSE: Undetermined
DAMAGE EXTENT: N/A
DOLLAR LOSS:
FIREFIGHTER RESPONSE: 15
MUTUAL AID: None Given
