Mutual Aid to Plainfield 2/2/08

Saturday afternoon Jewett City was just returning from a mutual aid chimney fire when the Rescue and Engine were requested to Plainfield, Norwich Rd. in the area of Hanks for a car into a tree with entrapment. Crews from the Rescue went to work assisting Station 95 with removing one patient from the vehicle, while the ET went to set up a landing zone for Life Star at the old Jade Garden Restaurant. Due to heavy intrusion into the passenger compartment, extrication lasted for approximately one hour.

I witnessed an extraordinary event Jan. 8, that has created a new respect for the men and women of our emergency personnel. Our volunteer fire departments, AA Young and Griswold, responded to a liquid gas truck turnover off Route 138 that could have potentially caused an explosion, taking lives and property.

While as a citizen I have always respected our emergency personnel and their departments, as first selectman I was on site for nearly three hours, and saw firsthand the courage, dedication and professionalism demonstrated by our people.

To Griswold Ambulance, the State Police and all responding neighboring towns who send their emergency personnel, Griswold sincerely thanks you all.
