MORE GOVAC ACTION
2000 - 2004
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.
