ICY CONDITIONS CONTRIBUTE TO WRECKS

As the snow started to fall and roads became icy volunteers throughout the county settled in for a long cold day. A total of 12 volunteers from Gamber staffed 2 Engines. Early on dispatch received calls for a single vehicle wreck with a car into a tree. Medic 139 and Engine 131 responded to find a vehicle well off the road way head on into a tree. Later on in the day station 9 (Reese) was alerted for a vehicle accident on Deer Park Road. Further investigation revealed this vehicle collision was in a 13 box and Engine 131 and Medic 139 were once again on the road. Medic 99 (Reese) was first on scene reporting 2 vehicles with 1 into a telephone pole. Engine 131 and Medic 99 handled and all others were placed in service.
