was dispatched to the Silver Hill Quarry for an injured person.
After arriving onscene it was determined that the pt was on top
of a large rock ledge and assistance would be needed. The
ambulance crew requested that the Fire Department be dispatched
for the stokes basket. The stokes basket is as invaluable device
carried by the fire companies to be used with getting people out
of tight spots and high elevations. Station 3-3 (Bowmansville)
was dispatched to assist. Deputy 3-3 (Good) arrived onscene and
set up command. He determined that additional resources would be
needed and requested Rescue and Truck 3-9 (New Holland) to
assist. After arrival of the 3-9 units the pt was secured to the
stokes basket and lowered by Truck 3-9 to the ground. Pt was
transferred to a helicopter to be taken quickly to a local
hospital.
