Units from Progress arrived and found a single vehicle off the road with a pole sheared off with wires down around the vehicle and the wires on fire. Command requested PP&L to the scene and to confirm the shut down of power to the grid as well as start Rescue 37 to the accident and the next due Engine Company to the hotel to investigate the fire alarm. Engine 33 and 30 were dispatched and handled the alarm at the hotel.
Crews from 32 and 37 were given the go ahead from a PP&L rep that arrived and confirmed all lines were no longer energized. Crews worked and had both patients extricated in under 10 minutes after stabilizing the telephone pole and lifting it off the car some and removing a door. Engine 33 was requested when they cleared the fire alarm to position on the Interstate and provide lighting as well as check for an additional patients since it was reported there was a 3rd patient in the vehicle.

Good Old Pennswood Apts. They are always counted on for a major fire every few years. That's a complex that has been producing wonderful picture fires since my days with Paxtonia in the 80s,

Todd Trimm How the fuck these lames personalizing shit they tryed to make me get killed, go to jail, have dementia, have diseases, viruses, cancer, and all types of other shit! They've been talking non-stop for 17months and burning body fat with social security equipment, cloning cartilage in my right ankle, rhino plasty in the public walking around, manipulating my neurons and messing with my thinking capabilities, bloodflow, heart rate, creatine kinase, height, testicles size, and breathing!! They've done all of this without my consent and under the premises that ive killed, raped, molested, robbed, kidnapped, and all types of other felonious crimes. They've went so far as to try and force me to commit crimes for their personal queer enjoyment while yelling deviant obscenities and vulgar homosexual remarks in my private residence, in public, and everywhere else. They're claiming to curse my babies, out casting me from my family, ostrasizing me from my peers and community, holding me captive with torturous methods and using biochemical warfare on us citizens with national guard laboratory staff, Maryland university college kids, George mason university college kids, greenbelt social security workers, phoenix house fbi mental health staff, navy, pg county police, and ugandan secret service! They've threatened hospital staff's lives for trying to assist me and been yelling out kill yourself for months after hacking all of my banks, emails, social media,and ps4.... All of this after winning a social security lawsuit and being sent kiddie porn on here over 3years ago... Think about the kids with Facebook pages and the implications that they could've been sent this or other things not legal to be placed on FB or anywhere else? Think about them being forced or pressured to engage in activities or illicit actions because of it and the fear of reprisals from their parents or peers! This shit is preposterous! Still no justice for me as all of my banking accounts were closed, phones cloned and hacked, social media, emails;etc....
