Shortly after clearing the HAZMAT crash units from station 3 and 1 were alerted for a serious crash on RT15 south and the ramp to I70 west. Duty 3 arrived first to find multiple vehicles with one on its side and 2 still inside and a number of patients on the side of the road already out of the other involved vehicles. Command was est. and 3 additional BLS units were requested. Command then assigned units to rescue and ems tactical groups. Lt. Morland "RS3 Officer" handled the rescue group. While Battalion Chief Chisholm was assigned the treatment and triage and Battalion Chief Coe handled staging and transportation. Units had 2 occupants removed from the vehicle on its side and other 6 patients triaged and transported with in 30 minutes. Command was terminated and units cleared. Good job to all on scene.
