At 0928 Companies 3, 9, and 7 were alerted for a MVA reported one trapped. Rescue 3, Squad 6 (filling-in for Company 9) and Engine 132 with Hazmat 13 responded shortly after time of dispatch. Squad 6 arrived on scene to find one vehicle off the roadway with one trapped. Crews off of Squad 6 started a side blow-out the drivers side. Rescue 3 arrived shortly after and started a side blow-out on the passenger side. Both crews then removed the roof and disentangled the victim. Command canceled Rescue 7 due to having Squad 6 and Hazmat 13 extra on the call. Crews took 20 minutes to get the patient out due to severe entrapment. The occupant was taken to the airport where Trooper 7 was waiting.
