While en route to training on May 30, 2007 the crew of Engine 17
became the first responders as they came upon a single vehicle accident.
The SUV in the accident struck a large tree and rolled coming to a rest
on the driver's side. The single patient received numerous injuries that
required immediate transport to Halifax Medical Center by EVAC with
trauma alert status. With Daytona Beach Fire Department establishing
command, crews from both agencies jointly worked to ensure the scene was
safe, provide medical care, extricate the patient and transfer care to
EVAC for immediate transport.
