Station #27 was dispatched to a motor vehicle accident with roll-over on Rt. 33 North bound, unknown exact location, involving a cement truck.

Unknown to Station #27, Stations #51 and #25 had been dispatched to the same accident 10 minutes sooner. Station #51 did not locate any accident while traveling south bound on Rt. 33. After turning around at Rt. 248 and heading north, the accident was located just south of the Nazareth/Tatamy Road overpass in Palmer Township. The vehicle was a cement mixer.

The first arriving officer from Station #27 was #2753. Station #25 was already working on patient assessment, with Station #51 doing fire protection. Med-Evac was on stand-by.
Upon #2741’s arrival, #2753 transferred command to #2752 because N.C. 911 had dispatched #27 to a possible structure fire with smoke showing at 3629 Nazareth Road (Crossing Coin Laundry). Units #2711 and #2712 were diverted to the structure fire.

#7151 took rescue command with assistance from other stations on location. Med-Evac was cancelled because of a class 5 victim with an extended extrication time table. Heavy equipment was also brought to the scene to assist
All units operated for approximately 5 hours until extrication was complete.
