Posted By P. Feely on Wednesday, March 31, 2010 at 23:30

On Wednesday March 31, 2010 Huntertown FD was dispatched on a "Building Collapse" with people trapped.  Additional information determined that it was a barn.  Fire 91 immediately requested an additional Rescue from Washington Twp FD and a response from the Specialty Operations Rescue Team from FWFD.  As Chief Feely arrive on scene he confirmed a complete barn collapse with 2 patients on the exterior with debris on top of their legs.  It was unknown how long the patients were trapped, but a good samaratin driving by saw one of the patients flag him down.  He realized they were in trouble and drove his vehicle against the collapsed structure to prevent it from falling outward on the patients anymore.  The structure was quickly stablized and patients removed.  They were transported to Parkview Hospital in fair condition with fractured bones.
