Although the days are getting darker earlier and fall weather is starting to take hold, Wild-land Fire season is not over. This evening the Clark County Strike Team was mobilized and deployed to the 2nd Street Fire near Benton City Wa. Two of your Volunteer Firefighter Sean LaBarbera and Jason Allison departed the Yacolt Fire station this evening with Water Tender 51 to join up with the other Clark County crews for the overnight drive. We wish our crew and the Clark County team safe travels to this fire.

This morning at approximately 11:30 hours, Clark County Fire District 13 and North Country EMS were dispatched to a reported heavy equipment/machinery entrapment. Initial call information indicated that a subject was pinned beneath a rolled-over excavator.

Squad 51 was able to clear a previous incident and respond directly to the scene. Engine 51 responded from the Yacolt Fire Station with specialized heavy extrication tools and equipment. Due to the nature of the incident and the potential complexity of the rescue, additional resources were requested from Clark County Fire District 10 and Vancouver Fire Department Heavy Rescue 5. Life Flight was also placed on standby.

Squad 51 and Engine 51 arrived to find a mini excavator that had rolled off the side of a berm that was under construction. One subject was found with their lower extremities pinned beneath the machine. Family members on scene had already begun attempting to dig around the subject prior to the arrival of emergency crews.

Fire District 13 crews, working alongside Fire District 10 personnel, assessed the situation, stabilized the excavator to prevent further movement, and coordinated the remaining extrication efforts. North Country EMS Medic 52 established patient care and treated the subject for serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Crews successfully freed the patient and moved them from the immediate hazard area. Once the extrication was completed and the patient’s condition was assessed, Life Flight and Heavy Rescue 5 were canceled.

Medic 52 transported the patient to the hospital for further emergency evaluation and treatment.

This incident was a coordinated effort between Clark County Fire District 13, North Country EMS, Clark County Fire District 10. The availability of specialized rescue resources and the coordinated response between agencies helped bring the incident to a safe and successful conclusion.
