Monday got off to a quick start shortly after 7:30a.m. when Exeter(Co25) and Mt. Penn were sent to Prospect St. & Oley Turnpike Rd for a pedestrian struck. Units arrived to find a teen with serious injuries after being struck by a car. Personnel assisted EMS with patient packaging for transport. Just after 11:30 Mt. Penn & Lower Alsace(Co 4) were sent to the 200 block of Penn Terrace in Mt. Penn for a struck gas line. A worker replacing a retaining wall hit the line causing an active leak. Houses were checked with no readings found and the scene was turned over to UGI once they arrived. At 4p.m. it was Mt. Penn’s turn to assist Lower Alsace in the 800 block of N. 25th St for a cardiac arrest. EMS was assisted with CPR & loading the patient in the ambulance. The day wasn’t over just yet as Exeter & Mt. Penn were sent to the St. Lawrence Papa John’s Pizza just after 11p.m. for a car into a building. Arriving units found exactly that with nobody injured but serious damage to the front of the building. Crews assisted the tow company by removing excess debris so the car could be removed. Units were able to clear the scene just before midnight.
