Hi all,
Just wanted to let you know the Washington County Fire Dive Rescue Team in MN. had an awesome response last night. An SUV went into the St Croix River with 4 souls
on board. The victims in the car had a cell phone to call for help. The accident would have never been found without this call, as the car went through a wooded area into a marina which is right in Stillwater MN. The car would have been found when they launched boats this spring. The crash was about 4 blocks from the first responding station. Victims were retrieved withing minutes of the call from a fully submerged vehicle. 3 unconcious/not breathing, 1 breathing found in a small air pocket. All were in the back seat retrieved through the windows. As of this afternoon 1 has passed on, 2 in critical condition and 1 serious.
The patient outcomes may not be good, but the training came through and every chance has been given to these victims. Pretty cool to see it all come together.
Check out the local t.v channels for the reports. WCCO 4, KARE 11.
Cheers,
