just north of Gretna. At the same time St. 22 was advised that the fire alarm was a false alarm

and E-223 responded to the wreck along with E-222. E-223 arrived to find a single vehicle

17:53 - While resting from a long hard day the tones sounded yet for another MVA. The

call was dispatched as single vehicle accident unknown injuries on Bibee Rd. E-222 responded

in less than two minutes w/5. As E-222 arrived bystanders came running to the engine and advised

command (Chief 22) that there was still a person in the vehicle. With multiple power lines down

in all directions the engines crew carefully did the inner and outer circles and found a single vehicle
