Trench Rescue

Thursday, July 9, 2020

Earlier today we were alerted to assist Hockessin Fire Company Station 19 with a confined space rescue. Whereas, a worker was overcome by fumes inside of a trench/confined space. Tower 12 was special called for the use of its aerial and the technicians that Station 12 had available. Several companies and personnel worked together to safely make entry and package the patient. Tower 12 positioned in the backyard where the aerial was in a position to be used. Tower 12’s aerial was used as a high point anchor, and was able to successfully haul the victim out of the trench using two 3-1 rope systems. The patient was turned over to the care of awaiting BLS and ALS resources for transport to the trauma center. This was an example that proved how several companies and personnel from across the county can come work as one for the betterment of who this business is designed to serve, the people.
