Central Bell Fire & Rescue

Traffic Accident Response

At approximately 3:16 PM, CBCFR and Sparta Fire / Rescue units were dispatched to the intersection of FM 93 and Paddy Hamilton Road for a reported single-vehicle accident involving one patient trapped.

The first units arrived on scene within approximately seven minutes, established command, and provided direction for incoming engine companies. Crews quickly initiated extrication efforts, successfully removing the patient approximately 16 minutes after the initial dispatch, with a total tool operation time of just over four minutes.

Following extrication, patient care was transferred to Belton Medic 1 for transport to a local hospital.
Units remained on scene until the vehicle was recovered and the tow operation was complete.

CBCFR would also like to recognize and thank the group of civilians who stopped to call in the accident and render aid and comfort to the driver prior to the arrival of first responders. Your actions were crucial to the well-being of the patient involved and are greatly appreciated.

We would like to thank our partners at the Bell County Communications Center, Bell County Sheriff's Office, and Texas DPS for their assistance and support during this incident.
