SCHUYLKILL COUNTY, PA – Shortly after 6 PM on Saturday, April 2, Schuylkill County 9-1-1 dispatched Fire District 9 (Sheppton-Oneida) and Shenandoah ALS to 230 Phineyville Road in East Union Township for a vehicle accident with injuries.
Engine 09-10 and Chief 09 arrived on the scene to find an off-road buggy rollover to the rear of the residence. One occupant of the vehicle had been ejected while the other was suffering from minor injuries. Fire and EMS personnel quickly assessed both patients and decided one would need expedited transport to a trauma center. Aeromedical was requested to the scene.
Lehigh Valley Health Network MedEvac 4 was dispatched to respond and was landed by fire department personnel in the field directly behind the residence. Once on the ground, the patient was evaluated by the flight crew and taken to the waiting helicopter. Once the helicopter took off all fire and EMS crews went available.
