ENTRAPMENT: SEPTEMBER 3 Snohomish Regional Fire & Rescue was dispatched to a BLS1 call for a report of a steel beam that had fallen on a patient sitting on a tractor who was unable to self-extricate. Battalion 81 heard the initial report and upgraded the call to a motor vehicle collision with entrapment. Aid 83 arrived first and reported one patient trapped between a metal beam and the tractor seat with a possible broken left ankle. Due to the size and weight of the beam, the patient could not be extricated without specialized equipment. Battalion 81 arrived and assumed 7th Street Command, reporting one ALS trauma patient. Engine 81 was assigned as the rescue group with assistance from Engine 82 . Snohomish County Fire District 4 was onsite as well, and the extrication plan involved using Rescue 42 (SCFD4) struts on both sides of the tractor’s rear wheels and a tripod cradle to lift and stabilize the beam. Firefighters successfully lifted and secured the beam, allowing them to slide the patient onto a backboard. The patient was extricated at the 20-minute timer and transferred to Medic 82 for treatment and transport.
Great job to all crews on a challenging extrication!
