At 16:59 station 77 was dispatched to a vehicle accident with injuries at 233 Greenwood Avenue in Upper Providence Township. Pre-arrival reports indicated that there were two vehicles blocking the roadway, one vehicle had flipped over and was leaking fluids, and also that everyone had made it out of the vehicles. Fire Police were also dispatched to shutdown Greenwood Avenue between College Avenue and Knoll Drive.
Upon arrival, the crews from Engine and Tac 77 staged to the side of the road, while the Upper Providence Police began their investigation. When they were given the ok, crews began to place oil dry on the roadway to absorb some of the fluids. Next, crews began cleaning up the debris on the roadway, and when they were finished, they staged on the side of the road while the towing company came in to pick up the car. Finally, crews cleaned the remaining oil dry off the roadway, and immediately after, station 77 was released from the scene.
