Crews responded to a two vehicle accident with one class-3 patient entrapped. 2541's crew was first on scene and began to stabilize and use hydraulic tools to free the patient. 2512 arrived on scene shortly after 2541 and assisted with extrication and stabilization.  2543 arrived on scene next to assist in stabilization and a battery disconnect on the second vehicle. 2541 removed the door using the hydraulic tools to free the patient. Fluid and debris management, as well as traffic control, were also performed by fire units.
