Sunday July 26, 2009 - We got on scene in POV to a motorcycle wreck around 10pm Sunday night. The motorcycle had run from troopers and wrecked into an area of road in a rural wooded area on a set of s-curves. Medical personell decided to lifeflight the driver. So, we all relocated to an open field down the road. During apparatus placement one of our trucks got stuck in the ditch. We then requested a heavy wrecker from the nieghboring county to respond. It was then, that a firefighter said he had lost his cap back at the scene. Me and my friend got into his POV and proceeded back to the area to search for the guys cap. We got out and asked the troopers if they saw it. It was at that time the wrecker came around the S curve and didnt seem to slow down. We ran across the road as the wrecker smashed into the ditch where we were just standing. Luckily no one got hurt this time.
 
Lessons learned: Always stay alert when working wrecks. Apparatus placement is also essential on dangerous sections of road not only for Fire Departments, but also any other emergency personel working the road.
