June 28, 2006 - 0816 hours - Water Rescue
 

Fire Station 27 (#2742) responded to Stocker Mill Rd. and Bushkill Dr. to see if Station #25 ( Forks Township) needed assistance for a report of a vehicle stalled in deep water with a female still inside.

Upon arrival Capt. A. Carr (#2755) confirmed the report. Because of the swift moving water around the vehicle it was decided to park #2721 (105’ ladder) on the bridge and extend the ladder to the vehicle to rescue the victim.

PA Water Rescue was staged in the water along side the vehicle in a boat until the victim climbed out of the sunroof onto the ladder.

All units cleared at 0850 hrs.
