Lynnfield Fire handled a Crazy MVA

It has been a while since I have sat down and Blogged about a scene! Which I apologize to my regular followers for! So, here goes as some time away, forgive me if it doesn't have catchy phrases or my regular lingo.

I have chosen an incident from a few back, a crazy incident out on Route 1 South Bound in the Lynnfield stretch just south of the tunnel, why this one? well you'll just have to read the blog to find out!

It was an unbelievably nice day for the middle of the fall. If I had to guess the Fellah's had the bay doors up and might of been on the floor going over the rigs it was so nice.

Normally right about here is where I drop my favorite line about how the tones dropped and the air filled with the sounds of sirens; which some of my followers rib me about; not this time! This time I am gone to tell you that the crews in South Station could already hear sirens lots of sirens racing south on Route 1, then a load bang! The sirens came from multiple police units chasing a suspect south from Peabody and the bang you ask, well that brings us to yep the tones dropping on the Fellah's!

The crews listened up to the dispatch knowing it probably had something to do with the bang heard out on Route 1, and it did! Dispatch rattled off the responce for an MVA. Crews from Engine 1 out of South rolled out sign off on scene as fast as they where signing on.

With urgency in his voice the Senior Officer on the rig radio in; to paraphrase "Lynnfield put the box on we have entrapment and the vehicle is on fire!"

The air once again filled with sirens this time racing towards the scene to rescue the person who the police where just chasing. As units signed off you could hear the tools working in the background

The Chief signed off and instantly made the call, "Command to Lynnfield get me Medflight!" to paraphrase. After a short back and forth between Command and Dispatch about the location of the landing zone (LZ) the Helo was in bound to LZ 2. Just as crews secured the LZ and the bird was touching down, command made the call, "Patient is now extricated!" Crews stabilized the patient and loaded them into the back of the wagon for the short ground transport to the LZ. Once there the flight medics from Boston Medflight climbed into the back of the wagon and began prepped the patient for the flight to the hospital.

The doors on the back of the wagon open the stretcher, with the patient slide out and was positioned next to Helo's stretcher and crews shuffled the patient over wrapping them in a solar blanket, transferring the monitor cables and IV tubes.

With heads down; staying low from the blade of the bird doing a hot load; crews wheeled the patient to the clamshell doors at the back of the Helo. Lynnfield crews cleared the area, flight crews buttoned up the bird and with a thumbs up from the LZ crews the pilot ramped up the engines, the blades flexed up and bird lifted from the ground into the air and off to the hospital.

Now as for why I picked this one to get back into the swing of well it goes something like this. After taking the photos of Boston Medflight someone reached out to me and comment on how much they liked them and asked if they could use them for a project they where working on, and that made it worth all the while.

Prayers for the person.
