Squad 33 (Kline) came across the accident first after returning from training and began controlling vehicle traffic around the accident. Deputy 33 (Klinger), Ambulance 33-2, and Medic 93-3 responded at 1620 and were advised by Chester County Fire Board of a single vehicle accident into a pole with wires down and a subject still inside.
Deputy 33 arrived confirmed the report, requested PP&L Electric to the scene priority one and established Horeshoe Pike Command.
