Early this morning, the Great Neck Alert Fire Company was alerted to a motor vehicle accident with reports of trapped and unresponsive occupants due to an overturned vehicle. Our firefighters quickly responded to the scene but were lucky to discover that both occupants were conscious and were able to make their way out of the vehicle. Our firefighters worked to secure the vehicle and mitigate any hazards while also working with and Hatzolah EMS personnel to assess and treat the patients involved. Kings Point PD was on scene providing assistance as well.
While we were fortunate that it was not required this morning, our firefighters were ready to execute any type of extrication operation that would have been needed. Great Neck Alert firefighters regularly train in multiple extrication techniques so that they are always ready to perform rescues, even when it is a complex operation and they had just been asleep ten minutes prior.
If you think you have what it takes to train and work in this type of unpredictable environment where you need to always be prepared for anything, we’d love to have you. Visit alertfd.org to learn more about us and to fill out an application.
