Districts 17, 16 and Lake Harmony Ambulance were dispatched to a reported two vehicle crash with entrapment on the off ramp of Interstate 80 at the Lake Harmony exit. Chief 1602 arrived on scene and confirmed entrapment. Engine 17 arrived and placed the battery powered cutter and combi tool in service and made quick work of the driver side door. They then needed to use the tool to push the base of the seat back to free the victims foot. The tractor trailer’s saddle tank was ruptured and a dyke was set up to contain the leaking diesel fuel. The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Crews were on scene for just over an hour.
