At about 1 pm Monday May 30 dept 22 and dept 2 for rescue was dispatched for a motorcycle versis pickup truck mva upon arrival Franklindale 3 first to arrive found 2 injured laying in the yard, then upon franklidale 2's arrival he assed injuries, and requested the bird,Franklindale 1 arrived on scene and took over as oic, there was no intrapment so recalled dept 2 Franklindale 3 was sent to establish a LZ for the bird. occupants of the pick up were not injured but the 2 on the motorcycle were seriously injured both did have helmets on but still suffered head injuries the passenger of the motorcycle was threw 40 ft in the air where she hit head first into a house, the driver of the motor cycle was able to un pin himself from the cycle and walked a few steps and layed on the ground, Franklindale 1 rquested a second helicopter at the time of not knowing if stat could fly 2 but once the helicopter crew arrived on scene of the wreck they said they could take both if they lightened their load so they hoovered for a few minutes to burn of excess fuel and relanded and took off all excess equipment ,patients were then packaged and transported to the bird and off they went it was a very nice job by all involved and i will say that this accident is the most severe that i have been on scene of but as far as other injuries i know both had leg injuries . and i hope they r both doing fine.

In the future it may be beneficial for the patients if you continue the rescue to the scene until you are sure there is enough equipment on scene. Both N. Towanda and Canton carry EMS equipment (backboards anyway) that would at times be needed as it would have been the other day, not to mention extra hands to help package the patients.

it was a very nice job by all involved I believe that pretty well covers anyone whom may have been involved (stat,ems personel,fire,state police ect.) we may have backboard comming our way VIA memorial,as I have spoken to Bill and Wendy (mama) about one and they replyed they thought they may be able to help us outwith one. AGAIN I reiterate what Franklindale 2 said--a good job by all involved.

A few things to Remember and take note of Dale.
Canton QRS does not mutual aid other agencies per say. Our Rescue and most of the people that operate it are trained in Pt. care.
It was set up a long time ago that Rescue never recalls until a ambulance is ON scene for since we are trained and have all the extra equipment. Just a backboard is not even close to enough. You need to have medical supplies and the accesories for the back board (plus training) if you are going to do it.
Not to second guess how your agency operates, but I really think that your department should rethink the recalling of a Rescue rather it be Canton or N. Towanda until-----A AMBULANCE ARRIVES.
Even more that the last call....... I remember the time we had a call years ago tha the person was out, the rescue was recalled, the guy felt ill and got back in the car and guess what------he had a broken back---lots of precious minutes were wasted waiting for it to come back out.

This is a very valid point. In my opinion I made a mistake in recalling my rescue. I recalled NT rescue on the 6 pt Monroeton MVA. My mistake. We have all the necessary equipment to assist EMS in the event of a MCI. Every call is a learning experience. Thinking outside the box is critical in our business.

By keeping the rescue on the road and not recalling them, it gives you an excellent resource for setting up an LZ or doing some traffic control (temporarily) Or just have them stand-by at a neutral location to cover for themselves plus your coverage area while you are tied up.

fire police are for traffic control only if you have them the to do that. if you dint have fire police you use your fire personnel that are there if that be the rescue crew then thats who it becomes the job of.

Yes, but some companies aren't fortunate enough to have fire police readily available at all times. So if the rescue crew is in the area and not needed I would rather have them do some short term traffic control (ie. flares, cones, blocking the roadway) to ensure the safety of the crews operating on the scene.

Hey McNett, Why not use the extra EMS people on the scene for traffic control? ? One thing I/We get in the habit of doing alot is blocking the road with a TRUCK. There are a few Departments (TROY) that has a ton of fire police but there are not many that have enough to go around. I agree you can use the rescue personal but then you have another call and they leave in a hurry and mess things all up.
