| On May 6th at approximately 17:34 hours, Co. 14 units were alerted for an MVA involving a Dirtbike in the 9900 Block of Sylvan Turn in Cliffton on the Potomac. Units from Co. 14 responded with a total of 14 volunteers. While en route, Communications advised there was a 12 year old male with a compound fracture of the leg. Units arrived and found a 12 year old male with an large laceration to the leg, and the request was made for a helicopter. The child was airlifted to Children's Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Engine 143 set up the LZ at the heli-pad at the bridge for Trooper 7. Units operated for approximately 1 hour before returning to service. Great job by all involved. |
