Wesley Chapel VFD & Waxhaw VFD Rescue Technician Students Put Their
Training to the Test!
On Easter morning, newly certified N.C.
Rescue Technician responders from Wesley Chapel Fire Dept. were summoned
to a single MVA with vehicle of bridge into a creek. After arriving
on-scene responders were faced with a priority patient who had been
submerged for over an hour and pinned inside the vehicle.
Once extricated the
patient was removed using a stokes basket and rope equipment.
Students also got to
try out some of their extrication skills during a horrific accident
involving a single car MVA with the car on its side suspended in a tree.
It took rescuers over 1-hour to extricate the patient from the vehicle.
