Vehicle Accident

During the Oglethorpe County Fire Association meeting on Tuesday, Rescue was called out for a single vehicle accident with entrapment. Myself and two other firefighters from Arnoldsville, were sitting at the meeting, and left to go to this rescue (the three of us are also on the County Rescue) We were directly across the street from the Rescue building already, so we headed out, grabbed R1, and made our way into Maxeys. Upon us arriving, we were instructed to get the power supply, the cutters and the spreaders. I grabbed the spreaders, and was connected with in just seconds. We were told to pop the door, and less than 2 minutes later, POP, the door was open and EMS had gained the access that was needed for them. Everyone worked very well together, got the job completed, and was sent home. Thank you Oglethorpe County EMS, Maxeys Fire Department, and Oglethorpe County Sheriffs Office. Everything went very smooth.
