Last evening around 7:30 pm, Station 35 (Wagontown) and local EMS were dispatched to the rear of a home in the 200 block of Kingswood Lane in West Brandywine Twp for an injured child with his leg stuck in mud. This "routine" call turned out to be something other than "routine". Initial crews arrived and were directed to a heavily wooded, muddy creek bed about 100 yards to the rear of a home. A young man had been struggling for several hours to free himself before help was called. First arriving crews recognized the seriousness of this incident and requested assistance from the Chester County Rescue Task Force. The Trench Rescue Discipline was dispatched bringing Stations 53 (Fame), 38 (Thorndale), 47 (Lionville), 68 (Valley Forge) and Medic 2 (Berwyn Fire EMS) to the scene. Fame is the Lead in Trench Rescue. Photos by: Jim Leon |
