Around 0300 this morning, the Engine Co. was dispatched for an accident w/ injuries in the first due. Prior to arrival, communications updated the crew that PGPD was on scene reporting multiple people trapped and one ejected. The assignment was upgraded. The crew crew arrived, stretched the bumper line and assisted in patient care as @kentland33 RE 33 extricated the 2 trapped.
*9/16/19 - 38 Box - 5900 block of MLK Hwy* Around 0830, the box alarm was struck for smoke coming from the CVS in Company 38’s first due. Engine Company 37, w/5, was dispatched as the second due engine. The first due engine arrived to find light smoke coming from the roof of the business next to CVS. Company 37 arrived on the scene and deployed the back up line to the first due engine. After gaining access through the security gate, smoke began pouring out, prompting the working fire dispatch. Companies 5, 37 (Engine’s)& 26 (Tower) made quick work of fire, which involved the kitchen and ceiling of the restaurant. Units operated for a little over 2 hours before returning to service.
