A not so merry Christmas posting

December 24, 2007

Hey...

A Firefighter was flown out to a trauma center last night around 2200 hours

in Hill County, Texas after several companies responded to a house fire south

of the town of Blum. The home was well involved and multiple tankers and

other units were dispatched. One incoming unit, an engine company was involved

in a roll-over accident on FM 933. Several Firefighters were on board and

they were injured in the crash. One Firefighter suffered serious injuries

requiring a medical helicopter response to transport him to a trauma center.

More

details will follow and be posted as we get them.

And...2 Manatee County (FLA) EMT's suffered neck and back injuries after

their ambulance overturned driving to an emergency this afternoon. The

ambulance

overturned after a pickup truck did not get out of the way. They were

driving with lights and sirens on to a respiratory medical emergency call and

witnesses said the pickup failed to yield to the ambulance. In order to avoid a

collision, the ambulance swerved right, hitting soft sand, and tipped over.
