South St Marks Avenue [4-6-13]

Just before 22:00 hours on the night of April 6th, the Bellmore Fire Department was dispatched to a reported motor vehicle accident with a possible car versus house on South St. Marks Avenue. The Bellmore “fly car”, designated 6099, was among the first to arrive on scene and requested the presence of Bellmore Heavy Rescue 607 and an ambulance forthwith. The request for the forthwith response was due to two trapped occupants still inside the auto. Aside from Bellmore Heavy Rescue 607, NCPD ESU 2423 also responded to the scene. ESU Officers and Bellmore firefighters put tools into operation to free the occupants. Once freed each occupant was loaded onto an awaiting stretcher and transported. Bellmore Fire Department Ambulance 6013 transported a thirty year old male with head and facial trauma. Meanwhile County Ambulance 2357 transported a fifty-one year old male with a head injury. Once the aided were transported the focus of the operation was turned toward shoring up the home to ensure stability. At this time North Bellmore was notified for their technical rescue team and responded to the scene with Heavy Rescue 653. Once the home was secured the auto was pulled away from the home by Rescue 607. All fire department units were under the command of Bellmore Second Assistant Chief Holl [600-02]. The home was at the corner of South St. Marks and Anthony Avenues and no one in the home was injured.
