HORSE RESCUE
Division 2 once again has had a busy quarter
with many notable calls, including a horse
rescue, a major hazardous materials incident
on the I-15 and a traffic accident involving an
extended extrication, just to name a few. Crew
6-1 also spent some time in Wrightwood educating the public on defensible space, and a
veteran captain transferred to Division 1.
SIGNIFICANT INCIDENTS
In late July San Bernardino County Fire responded to a traffic
collision with major extrication on Palmdale Road near the
town of Phelan. First arriving units found a small sedan had
collided head on with a truck towing a toy hauler. Trapped in the
wreckage, the driver of the sedan sustained critical injuries and
had to be extricated from his vehicle.
