"A" PLATOON RESPONDS TO FALL VICTIM UNDER GEORGE REDDING BRIDGE - October 24, 2010 |
On October 24, 2010 at 13:56 Engine 38 and Rescue 392 were dispatched to the area underneath of the George Redding Bridge for a fall victim. Upon arrival firefighters found that a male subject had fallen approximately 10-15' down a concrete embankment under the bridge. The patient was found unconscious/unresponsive with head injuries. Firefighters had to contend with steep terrain while packaging the patient. A medevac helicopter was requested to fly to Maxwell Field for an LZ. WFD and WPD members assisted in carrying the victim out from the area on the rough terrain. AtlantiCare Paramedics arrived on scene. The patient was transported to the LZ and transferred to the flight crew of Medevac 5. Units operated for approximately for just over an hour. The patient was reported to be in critical condition. |
