Engine 12 and Ladder 12 responded to Highway box 2380 this morning for a collision with entrapment. Engine 12 and Ladder 12 worked diligently with crews from @minquasfire23 Rescue 23 to extricate a driver from the pick up truck who was pinned. Furthermore, the hazmat box was filled for this incident due to temperature controlled organic peroxide being hauled in the pick up trailer. Crews worked for upwards of 10 hours with several other agencies. This crash, on top of other crashes in the county today, caused easily one of the worst traffic jams county wide in a long time. Squad 12 and Tower 12 were back filled with career and volunteer staffing to restaff our district while Engine 12 and Ladder 12 were committed to the Highway incident. We also had several BLS ambulances still in service! Squad 12, Tower 12 and our BLS ambulances handled several incidents while Engine 12 and Ladder 12 were committed. #ChristianaFire @ New Castle County, Delaware
