At 2:50PM Monday afternoon, Lehigh County 9-1-1 transmitted a rescue box for the 300 block of 14th Street in the Borough of Catasauqua sending Rescue 2 and Engine 211.
Once on scene, the fire officer reported a car into a tree with heavy entrapment.
One person was in the car when it slid sideways into a tree heavily pinning the male in the car. With all the tools such as the Jaws of Life in-service and the complexity of the rescue, an additional rescue company from Whitehall was special-called.
Firefighters worked for almost an hour to free the driver. Paramedics worked on the patient as the firefighters cut the car apart piece by piece. The drivers legs were pinned under the dashboard.

I have been a firefighter for almost 8 years and im telling you one thing it is amazing how being apart of a brotherhood / sisterhood that cares about one another so much. I put my life in their hands every call we go on and they put their life in mine. But just being able to help someone either make it out of a fire or car crash or something as simple as calming someone down is the best feeling. Helping my community is why i do what i do and i love helping people. I am a volunteer and i wouldn't change a thing.

Back in the day we had mostly hand tools and not much power stuff. Chains, blocks and come-alongs. These 15-30 minute extractions in newer cars with no full frame, I do not understand, but I don't have modern training. Everything seem s to take longer - to get a hose charged, to get geared up, to extricate, everything. Back in the day, someone would be on fire standby with a charged line, no matter how things looked. Again, I'm from the way back, probably ignorant of todays methods.

This extraction took far too long and there were far too many guys hanging around without a designated task. No one appeared to be in command! This is a weekly occurrence for brigades where I live. 1. Off with the roof (get yourselves a set of faster hydraulics guys: should take a minute tops). 2. Door off (1 minute tops). 3. Now you're in with a clear working area and can start pushing firewalls back off legs and cutting through steering columns. 4. Why did the 2 guys mess about trying to open the bonnet? (cut off battery power so no chance of an electrical short??) They stuffed around for a long time then walked away from the task without completing it. (??) A few things to work on your training days guys! Teamwork! Faster hydraulics!!

So, plenty of experience working with fire brigades extracting victims of road crashes from mangled vehicles. I have shown several brigades this clip. Comments / feedback were all similar. 1. Lack of effective leadership / direction. 2. Hydraulic cutter too slow; roof and door should have been off quicker 3. Why did up to 3 firefighters spend so much time attempting to take off the bonnet (most likely in an attempt to disconnect the battery) then abandon the task and proceed to just stand about observing the proceedings?
