Tuesday Night Rollover
Last night at approximately 5:30PM, the fire department was dispatched to a reported rollover on the 208 to 287 North Overpass. Chief 340 arrived on location and confirmed a pickup truck towing a car carrier with 2 vehicles on it overturned on the ramp. Rescue 3 arrived on scene and immediately stabilized the vehicle and the trailer with Res-Q-Jack Struts and then assisted the driver out of the vehicle. The Driver was then turned over to Franklin Lakes Volunteer Ambulance Corps for transport to a local hospital. Engine 335 stretched a precautionary line due to fuel leaking from the truck. Once the driver was removed, crews focused on applying speedy-dry to clean up the diesel. All apparatus were back in service an hour later.
