November 2015, in Charlottesville, Virginia a Semi overturned on passenger car on I-64. Here’s one thing I like when a department puts together an after-action report and then makes it available to the public.
Here’s the quick summary of the resources:
- Extrication completed in just under 1 hour
- 40 Personnel
- 4 Engine Companies
- 3 Heavy Rescue Squads
- 4 Medic Units
- 5 Command Vehicles
- 2 Wreckers
Here’s the PowerPoint of the whole call from start to finish. Download it, review it, talk about it, and most important…. learn from it.
