Today the South Media Fire Company was dispatched to assist the Middletown Fire Company (Sta. 50) at the intersection of Knowlton and Fox Roads for an accident with entrapment. Upon arrival, 50-9 (Tull) found a single vehicle in Ridley Creek with one female trapped in the vehicle and one female clinging to a branch further down the creek on the Rose Valley side. Crews from South Media and Garden City were able to rescue the young female from the frigid and raging waters on the Rose Valley side, package her in a stokes basket and haul her up a steep wooded hill to a waiting ambulance. Crews from Middletown, Lima, Brookhaven and Media rescued the older female trapped in her vehicle in the raging waters in the middle of the creek using Truck 69 and some ground ladders. Rescue 54 (Lenni Heights) was involved in a single vehicle accident while enroute to the scene and we wish them all the best. This was a tough rescue by all on scene and everyone should be very proud of a job well done.

Companies on scene were: South Media (51), Garden City (65), Middletown (50), Lima (69), Media (23), Brookhaven (52), Lenni Heights (54) and numerous EMS and police units. (Sorry if anyone was missed)
