Sunday Morning Garage Fire
Owner was warming up a pan of oil to fry some chickens on an LP burner. He went inside to prepare the chickens when he noticed smoke outside his window. Somehow the oil ignited and created a fire hot enough to blow the pressure relief valves on two small LP bottles thus creating an jet engine effect. A neighbor noticed the fire and called 911 about the same time. The garage was heavily involved when fire units arrived even though the call was about 1 mile from the station.
MVA involving a Car and a Box Truck kills one and injuries 2 others on the KTA. At approximately 9:05 pm Mulvane Emergency Services received the report of a rollover accident on the Kansas Turnpike just south of the Mulvane interchange. Upon arrival MES Duty Officer Duane McDaniel found a car pinned under a tree and a large box truck. The box truck was rollover on it's side and the passenger compartments of both vehicles were submerged in about of 3 feet of water. We immediately called for Mutual Aid and a Heavy Rescue team from Sedgwick County to assist us with this call. One female victim was removed from the cab of the box truck with minor injuries, she had been in the sleeper unit of the truck and was transported to Trauma Center by Mulvane EMS. Her husband was pinned in the drivers seat and submerged under water. The box truck had to be up-righted and pulled out of the water for the driver to be extricated. The car was almost completely covered by the box truck and a large tree that the truck had pushed over. It was completely submerged in water with the exception of about 6 to 8 inches of air next to the roof. The driver of that vehicle and her dog were alive, but trapped in the car by the tree, the truck and water. Firefighters were able to make a couple cuts on the roof of the car with a sawzall and remove the women & her dog. She was transported by Sedgwick County Medic 21 to a Wichita Trauma Center.
