Rockledge Fire Department works an MVC with extrication

On Wednesday, May 27th at approximately 5:00 p.m. Rockledge Fire Department Engine 35, District Chief 35 and Engine 36 responded along with Brevard County Fire Rescue 45 to a two vehicle crash along the 2100 block of Fiske Blvd. in Rockledge.  Upon arrival crews found that one of the vehicles had rolled and the pt was trapped inside.

Crews used specialized extrication equipment to make access to the trapped person.  Due to serious injuries, crews called for a helicopter to transport the patient to Holmes Regional Hospital in Melbourne, which specializes in trauma care.  The occupant of the other vehicle was uninjured.  

Another job well done by the Rockledge Professional Firefighters, Brevard County Fire, and the crew aboard First Flight.
