A difficult rescue. A coordinated response. One team.

At approximately 7:41 PM this evening, Morristown Rescue Squad and Morristown-Hamblen EMS were dispatched to the 2000 block of Harbor Way for an overturned cement truck with the driver trapped inside.

What followed was an extremely challenging extrication lasting approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Morristown Rescue Squad Extrication Technicians Brian Poole, Alan Wood, and Jacob Courtney worked side-by-side with Morristown Fire Department personnel throughout the operation. Rescue and Fire crews combined their equipment, experience, and training, using a wide range of rescue tools and advanced extrication techniques to gain access to and free the driver.

While Rescue and Fire crews worked through the complicated extrication, Morristown-Hamblen EMS faced an equally important challenge: providing continuous care and keeping the patient stable throughout the lengthy rescue. EMS personnel worked in extremely difficult conditions, providing patient care while extrication operations continued around them. Their work throughout the nearly two-hour operation was an important part of the overall rescue effort.

Morristown-Hamblen EMA, Morristown Police Department, and Hamblen County Sheriff's Office also provided support throughout the incident. Following the extrication, the patient was transferred to Covenant Air 2 for air medical transport.

Tonight's rescue was a tremendous team effort. No single responder, crew, or agency could have accomplished it alone. Rescue, Fire, EMS, EMA, law enforcement, dispatch, and air medical personnel each had an important role.

We are especially thankful for the outstanding work of our Morristown-Hamblen EMS partners, who remained with the patient throughout the extended extrication, and for all of our public safety partners who came together when they were needed.

This is why we train together. This is why we work together.

Different agencies. Different responsibilities. One team. One mission.
