MORE GOVAC ACTION
May 2003
GOVAC crews stood by
while Goshen Fire Dept.
dealt with a fire in an
abandoned cottage. By
the time crews arrived
the place was totally
involved in flames.
The rain and the
already soaked ground
made for difficult
footing. It is believed
that kids set this fire

This MVA happened during the bitter winter. The
driver was alone & lost control of the vehicle on a bad
turn. She was only about a mile from her home. She
survived. Head & Abdominal injuries. Campbell Hall
FD & Goshen FD performed the extrication. GOVAC
& StatFlight handled patient care. Note how the pole is
splintered above the vehicle. The pole also had a
transformer on it which made the extrication a little
tricky.

July 2004 -
You are looking at the recovery of a swimmer that was lost the previous evening while trying to cross this deep section of the
Wallkill river. Several agencies responded, GOVAC & Goshen Fire Dept were primary. The search was called off due to the time of
night and the safety concerns of the responders. The crews returned early the next morning to look for the victim. Which was found
in the area he went under
.
Divers from  Monroe, Port Jervis, Sparrowbush
were on scene to aid in the recovery.
It does not look very deep but it is over 20 feet
deep in this pool and has very strong currents

What started out as a structure fire turned quickly into a hazmat incident when it was
found that the building contained drums of perfume. GOVAC transported 2 firefighters to
the ER for exposure. Both were treated & released.
