At approximately 17:15 on 09 March 2008 Station 36-2 of Tinton Falls was dispatched to the Garden State Parkway around mile post 104 for a reported motor vehicle accident with an overturned vehicle. Fire Chief Dayback was advised en route by Monmouth County Fire Dispatch of reported entrapment and had his Station re-dispatched for an extrication assignment at the motor vehicle accident.

Rescue 36-2-86 and Engine 36-2-75 responded to assist Squad 36 to extricate the entrapped patient with the Company’s Hurst tools. Both companies worked approximately ten minutes to stabilize the vehicle, remove two doors, raise part of the crushed roof and extricate the patient to the Squad’s stretcher. The patient was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center for further evaluation by Tinton Falls EMS.
