On Sunday afternoon, we were alerted for a motor vehicle accident at the intersection of Waterside Ave and Norwood Ave. First Assistant Chief Cross was first on scene and reported one person injured and trapped in their vehicle.

Tower Ladder 2-9-7 arrived shortly after and utilized the Hurst Tools (Jaws of Life) to extricate the occupant. The patient was safely removed, treated, and transported to a local hospital for further care by Northport Fire Dept Ambulance.

Great work by all members involved
