On Friday at 14:56 Hours the Company along with Ambulance 144, Medic 93 and Hazmat 15 were dispatched to Union and Pratts Dam Roads for an accident with an overturned propane truck. Units arrived to find a propane truck overturned after an accident with the driver out of the truck.

On Arrival crews staged a safe distance back and began to work to control a small leak from the pump area of the truck and safety lines were stretched and put in place in case the incident escalated. Working with the truck driver the crew was able to secure the leak and then stood by until the vehicle was righted.

Flings towing was brought in to upright the truck using their large tow truck and made quick work of lifting and putting the truck back on it's wheels and then loading the truck for removal. Crews continued to monitor the area and stand by while the recovery of the truck took place.

Once cleared the company returned at around 17:00 hours.
