Tractor Trailer vs. Train / Mount Wolf

At approximately 1:00pm on 8/27/2012 Eagle Fire Company was alerted for vehicle accident involving a Norfolk Southern train and a tractor trailer with a possible pedestrian struck. Engine 22 arrived on scene first and began a size-up with Chief 22-2 on board. Engine 22 deployed a hand line to the incident which is capable of class B foam. Rescue 23 arrived and began to assist Engine 22 with deploying speed dry to the leaking diesel fuel tanks which was leaking from the tractor trailer. There was also a 150 gallon hydraulic fluid tank leaking on the ground. Rescue 24 crews deployed booms into the creek to stop any fluids that had gotten into Manhattan Run which feeds into the Susquehanna River. Ambulance 24 checked the driver for injuries and Ambulance 23 remained on scene for crew safety. Haz-Mat 91 from York County responded and assisted with fluid controls. York County 911 responded with Mobile Command Post-91 which served as unified command post of Fire, Police, EMS and Haz-Mat (EMA). After many hours of planning and preparation, the vehicles were successfully removed from each other around 5:00pm and a crane was brought in to lift the trailer out of a creek so that it could be removed by the towing service. A private Haz-Mat clean up company was on site to remove all soil and rocks that were affected by the fuel and hydraulic fluid spill. All units returned in service at 6:49pm. Eagle Fire Company operated with over 18 personnel on scene with Engine 22, Tanker 22, Engine 22-2 and Utility 22.
