As the first units arrived onscene, it was determined that the accident was at the 30 Bypass and Norwood Rd, making the accident in the Dowingtown Fire Department's territory. Station 45 and 46 were then dispatched to assist on the accident. Engine 46-1 went in enroute a few minutes later with 6 and came into the scene via Norwood Road. Engine 46-1's crew assisted 46 EMS with moving the patient, traffic control, and stood by with a fire extinguisher in the event of fire. After the patient was transported to a local hospital and the vehicle was removed from the embankment, the scene was cleared and Engine 46-1 returned to the station.
