Lyons Fire Department – Lyons, NY.

On Friday, February 17, 2006, Wayne County was hit with a wind storm producing winds up to 70 mph. At 08:24 hours Lyons Fire Rescue along with Lyons Town Ambulance was dispatched to a reported tractor rollover in the area of 696 Route 14. Engine 6, Squad 3 took the assignment under the direction of Chief Witt.

Upon Engine 6’s arrival, a tractor trailer was found on its side, in a field, on the north side of the road. The crew of Engine 6 found the operator pinned by the steering wheel. After stabilizing the tractor, extrication began with Captain DiSanto on the tool. After a short extrication period, the operator was turned over to the medics of LTA and transported to the local hospital with minor injuries.
