Head-on Sends Three
Critical to Trauma Center


Mid-Town – August 10, 2001

A collision between two cars at the intersection of Rte. 20 and Versailles Plank Road sent three people to the Erie County Medical Center around 4am this morning. The head-on crash crushed both cars, with two of the patients requiring extrication.

Evans Center Chiefs Dennis Allen and Bruce Green Jr. arrived first and called for additional Rural/Metro Paramedic units as well as Mercy Flight Medical Helicopter. All three patients appeared to have suffered serious injuries.

Eventually, crews from Eden Emergency Squad, Eden Fire Department and the North Evans Fire Company were dispatched to the scene. The teams worked together to pry the doors and cut off the roof to extricate two patients from the four-door sedan. Evans Center was also assisted by Angola Fire Control Dispatch and the Town of Evans Police Department.

Firefighting is not for everyone – but volunteering can be. Evans Center offers limited duty memberships in the areas of Fire/Rescue only, Fire Police only, Emergency Medical Services Only, Water Rescue only, or Associate only.  Associate members support the fire department through administrative, technology, fund-raising, clerical and other non-emergency business functions.

If you or anyone you know are interested in volunteering, please do not hesitate to contact the Evans Center Fire Company at 716/549-1221 or fill our our feedback form or e-mail to: info@ecvfc.org
