Truck No. 1 working in the E.R.




On Tuesday February 8th Truck 1B responded to a report of a 2 year old with his finger stuck in the bed of a Pick-up truck. The crew of T1; CA Sean Lovens, FE Derek Parmer, FF Adam Cheney and FF Steve Bevington immediately went to work trying to free the trapped finger. A sawzall was used to cut a portion of the truck completely off so they had better access. AMR transported the little boy to the ER. At that time of transport, he still had his finger stuck in the piece of metal that was cut away from the pick-up. Under better conditions, at the ER, Truck 1 crew continued to cut the metal away. A smaller hand saw was used as they got closer to the finger until the finger was free. This timely and coordinated effort resulted in the little boy leaving the hospital the same day with no permanent negative effects. The father is going to keep the small section of truck that was cut away to give to his son when he is older.
