'A' Platoon had a busy night shift on Thanksgiving, November 28th. Early in the evening Engine 38 and Ambulance 390 responded to a head injury on Pine Ave. A Medevac helicopter was requested and a landing zone established at Maxwell Field to transport the patient to the trauma center in Atlantic City. At 01:32 hours Engine 38 was dispatched to 2720 Park Blvd. for a reported vehicle fire. Upon arrival Engine 38 found a vehicle well involved extending to an adjacent dwelling. Engine 38 quickly placed a 1-3/4" line in service to knock the fire and prevent any further damage to the residence. Due to the quick response and excellent Engine work damage to the dwelling was confined to the exterior. A second nearby vehicle also sustained some damage in the fire. The fire is being investigated by the WFD, WPD, and CMC Fire Marshal's Office. |
