On January 25th the Piermont Fire Department was requested to the area of Ferdon Avenue and Paradise Avenue for a male down on the ice.
13-1, 13-2, 13-3 & 13-Rescue responded to the scene within 3 minutes of the initial incident. Due to a second call in our district 13-EM was OOS and South Orangetown Ambulance was then requested to the scene by 13-Command. While awaiting SOAC arrival, members of our department worked on getting the patient removed from the ice and safely on to the dock behind the residence. Once safe on the dock, the patient was then stabilized and moved to a stokes basket. A rope was then utilized to pull the patient up the old dock gangway to dry land.
The patient was transported ALS with hypothermia and non life threatening injuries.
Today one of our own members put his life on the line to rescue a fellow Piermont resident!
While driving home EMT Chris Sanders noticed what appeared to be a individual laying flat on the ice and not moving behind one of the residence off Paradise Avenue. Upon closer inspection he determined it was in fact a individual down on the icy creek.
Without hesitation EMT Sanders sprung into action and made his way out onto the ice to the patient. Once he made contact it was determined that the patient could not move on his own due to the injury he sustained. Sanders then decided he was going to drag the patient approximately 25-30ft back to safety alone, while on the phone with 44-Control.
We would like to thank Chris Sanders AKA (Mayor) for his quick actions and dedication.
