Less than 12 hours after going back in service, Squad 5 was put to work. At 0735 hours, Squad 5 (7 volunteers), Ambulance 59 & the Deputy Fire Chief were alerted for the auto accident at Route 260 & Boyds Turn Road (108 Box).

Safety 1 arrived on location and found a BGE truck v. passenger car with one person trapped. Squad 5 arrived on location, stabilized the vehicle and began extricating the driver. Rescue 1 arrived shortly after and assisted with the extrication. The entire driver side, passenger side & roof were removed.

One patient was packaged and flown to a local trauma center.
