Saturday, September 24, 2011 With most departments in the county attending the Orange County Firefighter's Parade in Salisbury Mills, E-582 set out on stand by at 1130. E-582 was to stand by for Salisbury Mills while also answering calls in our own district. With the parade set to step off at 1400, most units were at line up when a motor vehicle collision was dispatched at 1348 on Rt 208 and Moffat Road in the Washingtonville fire district. E-582 was on the road in a matter of seconds and arrived to find a van into a tree with 4 subjects inside. The crew on E-582 worked to stabilize the vehicle and put the combination Hurst tool into operation. Due to limited manpower as well as many units being out at the parade a request was made for a Rescue from Goshen to respond. R-581 from Washingtonville also responded and once our Rescue arrived the crew from E-582 also set up the Griphoist system for stabilization. 4 patients were removed from the vehicle and turned over to EMS. The EMS crews requested 2 helicopters to transport the patients and Congers FD from Rockland County (covering for South Blooming Grove) set up the LZ near the accident scene.
