These individuals came together from four different agencies, CDF, Paso Robles Fire, San Luis Ambulance, and CHP, to carry out the difficult task of extricating three patients with major injuries from a single vehicle accident. The accident involved the impaling of two patients with a single wooden fence board that had penetrated the two seats the patients were sitting in.
While conducting fire inspection and without warning, CDF Engine Company 36 came upon this complex incident. They immediately called for additional resources and began the long difficult task of extricating the patients by forcing entry into the vehicle, stabilizing the patients as well as assisting the two additional passengers in the vehicle. With the arrival of the Highway Patrol Officers, the second and third engine companies and two ambulances, this professional team of individuals had to cut the impaled object and then extricate the patients so they could be transported. It was clear upon my arrival at the conclusion of the incident that the emergency responders had brought order to a chaotic and challenging situation. They exemplified the very best that emergency services can provide.on G., San Luis Ambulance
