FIRE DEPARTMENT PARAMEDIC KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY
Passing along news from Chief Billy & FireFighterCloseCalls.
I am sure details will follow. Our thoughts and prayers are with our brothers & sisters in Belair tonight.

FIRE DEPARTMENT PARAMEDIC KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY-UNUSUAL STRUCK BY APPARATUS AT SCENE

Tuesday, January 6, 2015 - We regret to pass on to you some tragic news from Maryland. At 1350 hrs TODAY (16/6.2015) the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company (Harford Co, MD) was alerted for a motor vehicle collision with injury on Patterson Mill Rd. 

It was reported that a vehicle had run off the roadway into an embankment and the injured subject was in a nearby residence. On the fire departments arrival it was determined that the best access to the patient was via four wheel drive assist due to the extreme weather and driveway conditions. Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company Utility 373, a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD equipped with a snow plow responded for the four wheel drive request. 

As the utility vehicle proceeded down the driveway it began to slide. At some point during the slide, a member of the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company, a paramedic provider, was struck by the utility. He was treated at the scene and transported in grave condition to Upper Chesapeake Medical Center where he later succumbed to his injuries. Indications point to weather being a major factor in this incident. More to follow. Our condolences to all affected. RIP.

Earlier Statement:

1/6/14: At 1350hrs the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company was alerted for a motor vehicle collision with injury in the 300blk of Patterson Mill Rd.

It was reported that a vehicle had run off the roadway into an embankment and the injured subject was in a nearby residence.

On fire department arrival it was determined that the best access to the patient was via four wheel drive assist due to the extreme weather and driveway conditions. Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company Utility 373, a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD equipped with a snow plow responded for the four wheel drive request.

As the utility vehicle proceeded down the driveway it began to slide. At some point during the slide a member of the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company, a paramedic provider, was struck by the utility.
