At 2:26 a.m. today, Concord Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched into Appomattox County at Paradise Lake for an electrical fire in a camper. Engine 13-1 (with 2) and Tanker 13-3 (with 1) responded. Engine 13-1 arrived to find nothing showing and began investigating, finding a faint haze of smoke and the smell of electrical burns.
Crews scanned the camper with a thermal imaging camera searching for heat. Crews located the source of the heat and smoke, extinguished the burning wires and disconnected all power sources. The camper was monitored after the wires were extinguished to make sure all heat sources cooled down before clearing.
At 11:03 a.m., Company 13, Squad 4, and Squad 8 were dispatched for an ATV accident with entrapment on Oxford Furnace Road. EMS 8 and Medic 8-4 responded.
Unit 13-6 arrived on scene to find one patient with their foot pinned under a 4-wheeler in the woods. Medic 8-4 arrived and began patient care. The 4-wheeler was quickly lifted off of the patient’s foot.
Rescue 13 (with 3) arrived on scene and assisted with patient removal from the woods. All units cleared and Medic 8-4 transported to Lynchburg General Hospital for minor injuries.
