Fairmount Fire Department

This evening, crews continued training with the new Truck 1. Members trained on positioning the aerial device at a variety of residential and commercial properties, allowing them to practice real-world apparatus placement strategies for different building layouts and emergency scenarios.

This hands-on training helps ensure our crews are familiar with the capabilities of the new apparatus and are prepared to operate safely and efficiently when responding to emergencies.

At 17:59, Fairmount was alerted to a Motor Vehicle Collision with Injuries at the intersection of Milton Avenue and Gillespie Avenue. Fairmount Engine 94 (Engine 5), Engine 4, Rescue 1, Truck 1 and Car 2 responded. Crews arrived within 2 minutes of dispatch to find a two vehicle collision, one vehicle into a ditch with an occupant trapped. The entrapped occupant was extricated from the vehicle within 8 minutes by full vehicle side removal.

One patient was transported to local hospital by WAVES.

⚠️ Road Closure starting 6/11 at 6pm- 6/13 at 11pm⚠️

Chapel Drive will be closed from the south exit of Stellas Restaurant to Shrineview Drive for an event at Holy Family.

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in advance!
