Saturday October 13 at 2226 hours, the Dunkirk Volunteers were dispatched for the serious head-on accident with fire at Route 4 & 260. Squad 5, Engine 52, Ambulance 58 & Chief 5 responded and found a two-vehicle accident with a mini-van fully involved.
Squad 5’s crew made quick work extinguishing the fire while Ambulance 58 began assessing the victims. Four patients were transported to a local trauma center. The Dunkirk Volunteers operated on the scene for 60 minutes.
**It should be noted that prior to the fire department arrival, a Good Samaritan stopped to help and found that an infant was still inside of the burning vehicle. With no regard for his own safety, he forced his way into the vehicle, rescuing the baby from imminent danger**
