At 19:03, the 41-01 box was struck for an auto accident  with confinement in Wrightsville. Rescues 1, 2 and the Command were on the street in less than a minute with 14. Rescue 41-2 arrived on the scene and found a 2-vehicle accident, head-on with a patient still in the vehicle.  Crews from Rescue 41-2 began stabilizing the vehicle while crews from Rescue-Engine 41 pulled a line for safety. Once the vehicle was secure, the Holmatro™ tools were put to use to pop the driver's side door on one vehicle to gain access to the patient.  The HTFD crews then worked together to removed debris, and the box was in service in under an hour.
