Nice Weather Brings Another Rock Rescue
By TVFD
May 2, 2015
At 2:46pm, TVFD was alerted to assist EMS with an injured person in Saint Peter's Village. A subject had fallen while climbing on the rocks and could not get out on her own due to an injured leg. After Chief 69 arrived on location and surveyed the scene, he requested the Chester County Rescue Task Force be dispatched to assist with additional resources. Specialty units from Lionville, West Chester, Valley Forge, and Longwood were dispatched as part of the task force. An additional engine was also dispatched from Ridge, as well as multiple companies for fire police to assist with traffic and crowd control. While task force units began arriving and assembling equipment, Rescue 69's crew worked on locating a safe place for patient removal. Due to the extremely rocky terrain and distance from the roadway, a plan was created to use ladders and manpower to safely extricate the victim. Once the patient was transferred into the ambulance, all crews were released and returned to their local areas.
