Pierce County Firefighters, including Nathan Aldridge and Kurt Hawkins who recently attended the GEMSA Farm Medic Response Training hosted by Region M, responded to a medical call for an 81-year-old male that fell off a tractor with a box blade attached to the rear of the apparatus. The patient was under the box blade until the tractor came to a stop in the ditch. Firefighters, EMS and bystanders lifted and secured the box blade and removed the patient. Pierce County EMS and Fire triaged the patient and provided care until he was flown out via Air Evac.
