One Car Rollover With Extrication - Spanaway, WA

The driver was northbound on 46th Ave East and for some reason went offroad through a wire fence, a pile of rebar and off the embankment landing upside down on 204th street east. The door pillar on the passenger was cut out to remove the lone driver. So much for that Grand Prix. There is rebar sticking in the underside and hood of the car. Although injured, none life threatening.

How are you able to even be there with a video camera or whatever it is that you are using, here in new york we can not use any type of camera or cell phones even at any scene

@lilbill8806 I don't agree with the NY laws and think eventually those will be overturned. There is nothing like that here and I hope never will be. Being a member of the press/media for over 20 does have it's advantages, but anyone has the right to film from a public right of way.

great video..wow it is steady! tripod or you got one steady arm? 10 stars

[VX2100DV]

Thank you. Did a little of both.

[Crowrocker71]

Did either victim die? Looked like a pretty intense impact.

[VX2100DV]

No. They survived.

Im a firefighter paramedic in washington state. I think these guys (& gals) did a great job, but it's easy to sit back and be critical on a keyboard, isn't it? Don't hate on fire medics. We're all in this for the same reasons and should support each other. Every rescue, fire and extrication is different. Those who are making negative comments and call themselves firefighters and/or EMT's should be ashamed of themselves.

You sound like a bunch of too much time on your hands volunteers. Get a job and let them do theirs.

@Quad4Fun1 you dont immobilize the head until the patient is strapped down on the back board caz if they roll when not strapped it will break there neck

[Footballarm102]

You should move your pump back into the warm zone and outa the hot zone

[Quad4Fun1]

He was strapped over the shoulder with an "X" across the chest, one strap across his waist, and one by his feet. Then there are cot straps across him also. The video was edited or stopped a couple times that is why you don't see them doing it. LOL, the "new guy" you refer to that is holding the cot may have been fairly new, hard to tell cause he didn't turn around. It is funny she keeps moving it and pushing it away. They did a good job though.

[Quad4Fun1]

If you notice, the pt was strapped down to the backboard after he was put on the cot. Why the head wasn't immobilized,I can't say. If you notice, all of our folks working around the car did have coats on. The gal without the coat on only got close to help lift the pt up. She may have been the driver of the medic unit, who supports the medic and doesn't get involved in the extrication.

I think they did a pretty damn good job. There are little things we forget about like laying tools on the ground where they'll be in the way later but even i'm guilty of that! The only thing i saw wrong was the dude with out his coat on should have been wearing it. It's just a good habit to get into. I tell the guys all the time, "Full PPE at all times unless your in the rig or in FF rehab." Other than that, nicely done! Keep up the good work and ALWAYS buckel up!
