When a vehicle crashes into a building, the response can involve much more than removing the vehicle.
Today, Roseville Fire crews responded after a vehicle struck a building. Along with other responding units, our Technical Rescue Task Force was called in to address the structural damage caused by the collision.
Crews evaluated the damaged areas and used specialized equipment and techniques to stabilize and shore the structure, creating a safer environment around the damaged area. Fortunately, no one was injured during the incident.
Cross-staffed by personnel from Engine 8 and Truck 8, Task Force 8 provides specialized technical rescue capabilities for incidents involving structural damage, confined spaces, trenches, high-angle rescues, vehicle extrication, tower rescues and swift water.
These aren’t calls our crews encounter every day but they are situations they regularly train to handle. Today was a great example of that training and specialized capability being put to work in our community.
