technical rescue in Frederick County MD

All posts tagged technical rescue in Frederick County MD

USAR, Technical Rescue, and Special Operations units from Frederick, Washington, and Montgomery counties, in addition to Fort Detrick responded for the person trapped in a trench on Tuesday.  A contractor was buried to the waist in 10 feet of dirt and rock in a trench.  Collapse and technical rescue technicians worked intensely and delicately to free the patient.  Once extricated, rescue workers immediately transported the patient to Baltimore Shock Trauma via Maryland State Police Trooper 3, a medevac chopper.

The rescue operation lasted for over 3 hours.  Unfortunately the patient succumbed to his injuries.
