Firefighters Extricate 1 from Halloween Rollover

October 31, 2020 - Just prior to midnight, firefighters were dispatched to an MVA rollover with possible entrapment, on the Rt80 west exit ramp to exit 19  Upon arrival of fire chief 91-60, a vehicle was found on its side and the driver was confirmed entrapped.  

Heavy Rescue 91-75 arrived within minutes.  Crews were split into two - 1 for stabilization and 1 for tool setup and preparation.  Firefighters stabilized the vehicle by loading the Paratech Struts with a come-along, allowing the "clean' side of the vehicle to be free of obstructions.   Once the vehicle was secure, firefighters utilized the Cutters, Spreaders, and Sawsall to remove the roof, taking advantage of the moon roof.  Engine 91-63 arrived shortly after 91-75 and provided additional support with roof removal and patient care.  

The patient was removed within 15 minutes and turned over to 95 Rescue for transport.

The accident is under investigation by NJSP.
