A multi-agency rescue unfolded Saturday as five agencies rushed to save two people in a flipped truck in a remote area of Palm Beach County.
According to Palm Beach County Fire Rescue (PBCFR), a truck was on a dirt canal road 5 miles west of US 27 and just north of the county line when the vehicle flipped, trapping one in the vehicle, and one under the vehicle. Not only was the vehicle flipped, but it was also sinking into swampy mud.
Along with PBCFR, Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO), Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO), Florida Fish and Wildlife (FWC), and Health Care District of Palm Beach County (HCD) joined in the effort.
And the agencies didn’t waste any resources, arriving by land, water, and sky.
Due to the accident’s remote location, a PBSO Eagle Helicopter was used to transport the firefighters and an EMS captain with equipment including Whole Blood for a transfusion to assist the victims and help in the rescue, per PBCFR. Additionally, BCSO sent an airboat and their helicopter and HCD sent the TraumaHawk.
After a ‘very technical extrication,’ firefighters say both victims were flown to the Trauma Center.
“Our PBCFR communicators showed once again how amazing they are, by making sure all five agencies were able to communicate clearly,” PBCFR said in a Facebook post. “Incidents like these show why it is so important for all of us to train together.”
