One trapped
Friday afternoon Co 13 was dispatched to the bottleneck for a vehicle overturned with entrapment. Rescue 14 was added for manpower. Crews used Airbags to lift the vehicle after stabilization was complete. Crews then needed to cut the vehicle to gain access to the patient. Great job by all involved.
Electric Hazards
We have had alot of trees and power lines down recently. We want to remind everyone if you see a power line down, please steer clear of it. You never know whether they are live or not. You will see in the pictures below where a downed line actually burned holes in a concrete curb
Working Fires
Saturday Air 13 responded to 2 separate working fires. The first was a small fire in Harrisburg City. The second was a well involved house fire in Hampden Township. Engine 313 also transferred to Co 33 while they worked at this scene.

A little Saturday Training
Saturday morning crews took advantage of a building being torn down by honing their skills. Thank you to Firefighter Grundon on teaching some new hose management techniques. Crews also practiced some forcible entry and ladder throwing.
