Rollover involving Rescue Engine 335
On Oct. 12, 2007 around 0820 hrs. Rescue Engine 161 was O.O.S. enroute to training at ACFD Logistics when Chief 302 (Metro Washington Airports Authority) came accross Channel 1 Alpha requesting the rescue assignment for Rt 1 and the 233 Bridge for Rescue Engine 335 rolled over with F/F's trapped. Being close to the area Capt. McGillin advised Arlington to hold them in service and on the run. R/E161 arrived just behind TK105 and Command quickly assigned them to the Rescue Group as no Rescue Squad had yet arrived. The crew went to work assisting with the extrication efforts. Throughout the incident R/E161's crew worked with Arlington, MWAA and Alexandria units to free the 3 trapped firefighters. The extrication took a total of 50 mins to free all 3 firefighters two of wich were transported via helicopter to nearby hospitals. Thankfully all 4 firefighters transported had non-life threatning injuries. Deputy Chief 302 had Command. Numerous other Command officers from the surrounding areas where also on scene.
R/E161's Crew - Capt. McGillin, D/O Angerette, F/F's Nordstrom and Humphreys
