Vehicle Accident Stand-by

 Kevin Katarynick    August 29, 2018    No Comments

On Wednesday, August 22, 2018 at 0935 hrs, KPVFC units were dispatched to a vehicle stand-by. Arriving units were presented with a vehicle that had gone airborne from the parking garage ramp traveled across Wills Blvd. down the embankment striking the gas lines which serve The Connector, The Court and the Pavillion portion of the King of Prussia Mall property. Gas was extensive throughout the covered area across the roadways and into portions of the mall service areas. The driver was treated and transported by Lafayette Ambulance Medic 317 prior to the arrival of fire apparatus.

Engine 47-1 crew laid a 5 inch line and staged as photographed. Captain Bacchi advanced a handline and with crew used a wide fog pattern to access the valve area and secure the gas line. The crew then checked the lower level of The Court service area for gas odor. Squad 47 crew conducted interior gas odor checks in The Connector.

While minor odors were present meters did not detect any readings and natural ventilation was used to remove the gas odor.

Units remained while Jamison Towing pulled the vehicle. PECO requested we remain as the vehicle was entangled either the gas piping and they wanted to assure no subsequent problems occurred.

UMPD did an excellent job with traffic management and coordinating mall resources (management, security and maintenance).

2020 has been a wild ride so far, but we can’t let it slow us down!
In an effort to keep the spirit of National Night Out alive and growing, the Upper Merion Township Police Department will be celebrating National Night Out on Tuesday, October 6th.

Due to the Coronavirus , this year is going to be a little different than previous years. This year’s National Night Out will be an Upper Merion Township neighborhood tour! We are planning to drive a designated route throughout the Township with planned neighborhood stops along the way. During our tour, we encourage all Township residents to come out of their homes to say hello, meet some of the police officers, have fun and help us build a stronger community.

We would love to have as much of the community involved as possible. Any township family or business who would like to be involved in making our community celebration a success, please contact Officer Davies @ jdavies@umtownship.org.
