| ARRIVING ON THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT OUR RIG PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD BEHIND THE FIRE CHIEF AND PATIENTS WHEN OUR AMBULANCE WAS STRUCK BY A DRUNK DRIVER. THE DRIVER THEN BACKED UP & LEFT THE SCENE. HE WAS LATER CAUGHT BY NY STATE POLICE. OUR MEMBERS CONTINUED PATIENT CARE & AFTER CLEARING THE AMBULANCE THEY PROCEEDED TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM WITH THE PATIENT. ONCE THE ORIGINAL PATIENT WAS DELIVERED TO THE STAFF ONE OF OUR MEMBERS ALSO NEEDED TO BE SEEN AT THE EMERGENCY ROOM. I AM HAPPY TO REPORT ALL PERSONS TAKEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM THAT NIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO MAKE A FULL RECOVERY. WE DID HAVE A GIFT FROM THE DRIVER OF THE CAR.... PART OF HIS LICENCE PLATE WAS FOUND IN OUR BUMPER! |
| A FEW DAYS AFTER OUR ACCIDENT A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD IN THE BAY AREA. WE FOUND THE OLD FIRE TRUCK FULLING PIPE ON THE GROUND. THIS PIPE WAS USED TO FILL THE TRUCKS WITH WATER. IT HAS HUNG FROM THE CEILING FOR OVER 50 YEARS. LUCKY NO ONE WAS UNDER IT WHEN IT FELL. ONCE ON THE GROUND THE OLD RUSTED VALVE WAS BROKEN & LEAKING. LUCKY FOR US ABAR PLUMBING WAS KIND ENOUGH TO COME OUT TO CAPE THE PIPE . THANK YOU SAM FROM ABAR!!! |
| WHEN THE PIPE FELL IT PULLED OUR CHARGING CORD FROM THE CEILING. LUCKY FOR US WE FOUND SOMEONE WHO IS NOT AFRAID OLD RICKETY LADDERS AND HEIGHTS! HAPPY TO REPORT NO ONE GOT HURT IN THE PLUGGING IN OF THE CORD. |
