Hey,
A member of the Princeton (NJ) First Aid and Rescue Squad is critical after attempting a water rescue in Princeton near the Johnson Park School this morning. A second member was also transported by EMS. This situation occurred during an attempted swift water rescue that took place in Princeton due to related weather from hurricane Irene. We’ll have more details very soon.
NOTE: The NJ Governor made a statement that a Princeton FF was an LODD-that is NOT accurate and is wrong as of this writing-the member is alive.
APPARATUS CRASHES: NY & NJ
Also in storm related news, in the Centerville area of Ulster County NY, a fire apparatus ended up in a culvert with reported Firefighter injuries this morning
Additionally, a Paramedic with Jersey City medical center in Newark was involved in a crash around 0100 hours. A car blew a red light as they were transporting a patient to the hospital – the ambulance was t-boned entrapping the occupant of the car that hit them. Both medics received NTL injuries. The driver of the vehicle was intoxicated.
Take Care-BE CAREFUL.
