A call came in requesting trucks down at a car accident later that day. When we arrived at the scene, I saw out my window that a car involved in the accident was smashed badly on the driver side. When our truck stopped, Kane and I made a dash over to the vehicle, while Greg joined the others from the engine crew over at the truck that was also involved.

Broken glass littered the intersection as we approached the mangled hunk of metal. Seeing the blood on the woman’s head, my heart felt like it was going to pound right out of my chest.

“Ma’am, can you move your legs?” I asked.

She cried out as she shook her head, “No, I can’t feel them at all!”

Grabbing the door handle, I tried to yank it open, but it was jammed. Turning to Kane, I said, “Get the Jaws.” Turning my attention back to the woman, I reached through the broken out window and put my hand on top of hers. She was shaking and scared.

“What’s your name?” I asked.

“Monica,” she replied as she looked up into my eyes. “You?”

“I’m Cole, and we’re gonna get you out of here, Monica.”

She began crying harder. “My legs… why can’t I feel them?”

“Just try to remain calm the best you can Monica. Try not to move around.” Glancing over at the truck, I saw Rick and Ted retrieve a male driver out of the truck and the paramedics began treating him. He looked like he was going to be okay from what I could tell; a few scrapes and bruises, but nothing serious.

Soon enough all the firefighters were over with me at the car as we tried to rescue Monica. Rick stayed back with a hose, ready to spray if the car began burning. Monica began hyperventilating as Kane got into position with the Jaws of Life. Leaning in the window, I said, “You can trust me. I’m here for you Monica, every step of the way.”

She nodded.

Pulling back, I watched as Kane worked to rescue the woman. A man from the crowd behind me said, “I was just walking down the sidewalk and heard a car flying down the road.” I turned to him and nodded as he continued, “Then… I like, looked up and bam! The truck flew through the intersection and smashed into the car! Dude, it was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen!”

“Have you talked to the police?” I asked.

“No, I wasn’t sure if I needed to do that,” the guy replied whipping his unusually long and braided hair back behind his shoulder.

“Go give them a statement; that’d be helpful.” I turned my head and looked over at the fire trucks and saw Tom on the radio as he looked my direction. It was a brief look, and then he turned away as he started talking with one of the paramedics.

Seeing they were about to pull Monica out, I dipped down through the window and shouted over the sound of the equipment, “I’ll be right back.
