Shortly after the Falmouth Volunteers completed cleaning the station after the passing hurricane, the Engine Company was alerted for an auto accident in the area of Kings Highway and Federal Drive. Minutes later the incident was upgraded to an auto accident with reports of it being overturned with entrapment. Engine 1 was first to arrive to find one vehicle on its side with one trapped and established the "Kings Highway Command ". Engine 1 then advanced a protection hand line while Rescue 1 was stabilizing the vehicle. Once stabilization was complete Falmouth unit's quickly completed a roof flap to gain access to the patient. Company 1 units operated on scene for approximately 25 minutes before returning to service.
