Assistant Chief 3-8B Bobby Collins had command. Earlier in the day 12-6 was returning from a vehicle fire (under control upon arrival) at the Glasgow McDonalds when the company was dispatched to an MVC in the area of Pulaski Highway and Walther Road. 6-6 arrived on location with a two vehicle accident. Because of the distance between the vehicles involved, 6-6 and 12-6 each were assigned a vehicle. The crews assisted EMS with patient care and stabilized the scene. A-3 and B-6 transported patients to the Christiana Hospital. Also assisting at the scene were the New Castle County Paramedics and the Christiana Fire Company Fire Police.
