🚨 INCIDENT RESPONSE – TREE CUTTING ACCIDENT 🚨
This afternoon, Allentown Fire responded alongside Wellsville EMS, Rescue, and MTS units for a tree-cutting incident in a remote wooded area off Bill Allen Hill Road.
Due to the difficult terrain and remote location, UTVs were utilized to reach the patient. Crews worked together to access the scene, evaluate the patient, provide necessary treatment, and safely extricate the patient from the wooded area.
After evaluation, it was determined that air medical transport was needed to get the patient to a trauma center. Allentown 604 and Wellsville Rescue 3 worked together to access, assess, treat, and extricate the patient to Wellsville 803, which met Mercy Flight at Allentown Park.
🚁 Allentown 4 established the landing zone for Mercy Flight.
The patient was transported by air to a trauma center in Rochester in stable condition.
This incident was a great example of multiple agencies working together to overcome challenging terrain and provide rapid patient access and care. We would like to thank all of the crews involved for their teamwork and professionalism.
🙏 Our thoughts are with the patient and their family, and we wish them a full and speedy recovery.
