Dickson City Ambulance and Fire Department personnel were called out Monday evening to Commerce Blvd near Panera Bread for a crash involving a car striking a gide rail.  The impact of the crash sent the gide rail through the engine compartment and firewall and then into the passenger compartment of the vehicle.  Crew members of the Dickson City Fire Department worked for over half an hour to cut the vehicle's driver from the wreckage.  The driver and a passenger were transported to an area hospital.

Acquires Quick Response Vehicle

As the new year began, the Dickson City Community Ambulance placed into service an additional vehicle to help us respond to emergencies.  A 2007 Ford Expedition EL, stocked with an array of BLS equipment, and staffed by least one EMT will be available to provide aid at an emergency until an ambulance arrives.  Additional uses for the vehicle will include transportation for members to training events, providing rehab operations without taking an ambulance out of service, improve our ability to respond to emergencies in adverse weather conditions, etc.  During the next few weeks this vehicle will be licensed and lettered, and will then be known as "QRV 23".
