On Sunday August 13th, 2017 at 1115 the Westwood Fire Company was dispatched to the unit block of Earhardt Drive in Valley Township for an aircraft emergency.

Ambulance 44-1 already on the street arrived within 2 minutes reporting 1 plane up an embankment and was checking on injuries. Battalion Chief Sly arrived at 1119 and assumed Airport Command.

After patient evaluation it was determined there were no people suffering from injuries and Ambulance 44-1 went available. There were no fire or rescue services required so the apparatus remained in quarters.

The scene was turned over to the airport personnel and all units cleared within 10 minutes of being dispatched.
