At approximately 11 am this morning, emergency units in the Prince Frederick area were alerted to a report of an injured individual on a tractor. As crews from Prince Frederick Volunteer Fire Department, CALS Chief10B, and PA204 responded, updated information revealed that the injured person was about a mile off the road in a field surrounded by woods.
Engine 22 and Chief10B arrived at the scene together and proceeded to reach the injured individual. Upon arrival, Chief10B assessed the patient and found serious injuries, prompting a request for aviation to transport the individual to a trauma center.
Chief10B worked with members of Prince Frederick Volunteer Fire Department, PA204, and Chief10 to fully immobilize the patient using a longboard before removing him from the tractor. After the patient was safely removed, Chief10B, PA204, and Chief10 continued to evaluate his condition in the rear of PA204.
Maryland State Police Trooper 6 landed in the field adjacent to the scene and transported the patient to a regional trauma center.
