After assessing the scene with the assistance from Engine 4's OIC (Starr) personnel on location had a total of 5 patients (4 adults & 1 child) with 2 of them being critical and requiring CMC's Med-Center Air to the scene. Shepherds Rescue 5 arrived on location blocked the northbound travel lanes and began taking on pt care along with crew from Engine 4. A bystander had taken care of the fire with a dry chem extinguisher before the arrival of fire personnel. Capt 550 (Craver) handled the LZ operations which was conducted at the field right next to Shepherds quarters. 2 ALS units along with 1 supervisor (K.Smyre) were required to handle the injured.

Shepherds would like to thank Engine 4 and all other Shepherds personnel who responded for working very diligently in a very chaotic scene. |
