Mt. Ephraim Fire Dept Responds to Auto Accident
by Bill Bates News Correspondent
The Mount Ephraim Fire Department, Station 45, was dispatched at 3:27 hours on Friday, December 1 in front of 602 North Black Horse Pike, the WaWa, for a two car motor vehicle accident.
Basic Life Support Unit 297, Haddon Heights, came upon the accident moments after it was dispatched.
BLS 297 ascertained that they had a two vehicle MVA with one entrapment.
Camden County Communications re-toned the assignment and added Rescue 2, from neighboring Bellmawr, as Mount Ephraim’s rescue is temporarily out of service.
The MEFD is awaiting the arrival of the new truck which should be in a few weeks. The truck is currently being mounted with special equipment and having the lettering and painting completed.
Deputy Chief Brian Gilmore arrived and assumed Command 450. Shortly after, Mount Ephraim’s Engine 452, followed by Bellmawr’s Squad 32 arrived and both companies went to work to extricate the patient.
Command 450 reported at the ten minute mark that both companies were operating and that he would hold with the equipment and staffing on location.
The patient was extricated by the 20 minute mark and transported to Cooper Hospital by Haddon Heights BLS 297.
Engine 452’s crew and Command 450 stayed on location to assist the police and the tow company as they removed the vehicles from the highway.
The driver of the vehicle and the driver and passengers of the second vehicle were all treated and released the same day.
