I always find it amazing how easy it is to pull apart a vehicle. We broke out the windows, cut the pillars holding the roof and it just peeled it back like a can of sardines. The poor lady was nice as can be too, something we don't get very often on this side of town. Older woman, probably in her mid 60's just sat there calm while we were working. Lucky for us, we didn't do very much because our rescue truck was there pretty quick and they like doing all the fancy stuff. But whatever took getting out of the cold fast was alright with us. Not to mention the sun was coming up and we were encroaching on shift change.
Here's a pic of her truck. It didn't come out very good but you can see the roof peeled back.
We really didn't do anything else other than a few more automatic alarms, another wreck, and some medical calls. The next day on, we made a run early in the morning for an unconscious person. It was supposed to be in a vehicle outside of a house but turned out the lady got up and went inside before we got there. We knocked on the door and this haggard lady peeks out and says she feel asleep in the car because her alarm didn't go off. I'm not really sure what the hell she was talking about but while the ambulance was getting the story, I started looking through the front window of the house. Jesus there was trash piled up to the bottom of the window and there were two small dogs trekking across the mess. I try to keep houses like this in my memory because if we ever get a fire there, I know the present hazards. It has happened before. Later on we made a huge pot of chili for lunch/dinner and had a fairly quiet evening. My kind of day.
