At 12:41 p.m. Brewster Fire/Rescue was dispatched to a motor vehicle accident involving a private vehicle that had driven through the front entrance of the Eat Cake 4 Breakfast Café located at 300 Underpass Road. On arrival the fire department found a four door vehicle approximately halfway into the front entrance of the structure with injuries to multiple patients including the elderly driver who was still inside the vehicle. Due to the number of reported injuries a Level I Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) was transmitted by command and an additional three mutual aid ambulances and an engine company were requested to the scene.
Motor vehicle accidents are one of the more common emergency incidents the Brewster Fire Department responds to. In an effort to improve the requisite skills and techniques required to safely and efficiently extricate and care for those involved in these incidents members of the department recently participated in a hands-on training evolution involving various vehicle extrication and stabilization methods, hydraulic tool use, and equipment familiarity. Due to these dynamic hands-on training sessions Brewster firefighters are now better prepared to provide outstanding fire and EMS services to the community and those traveling our roads.
