Confined Space Rescue at Construction Site in Neptune Township

April 13, 2017

Neptune Township EMS was dispatched to a reported fall victim at a work site at Bath Avenue and Beach Avenue in the Ocean Grove section of Neptune Township.

Upon arrival, EMT’s found a male who had fallen approximately 10-12 feet from a first floor into a basement.  EMT’s accessed the patient along with MONOC paramedics, and also identified that this situation was a confined space incident.

At 11:57 AM, the Neptune Township Special Operations Rescue Team was dispatched.

Upon arrival, Special Operations team members assessed with on-scene medical personnel and determined that the patient needed to be stabilized and removed via stokes basket.

As the patient was being packaged in the confined space, rescuers topside set up a rope haul system.  Once the patient was ready, the stokes basket was hauled up to the first floor, the stoke was detached from the rope system and the patient was transported by ambulance to Jersey Shore University Medical Center.

Units that operated at the scene included Neptune Township Emergency Medical Services, Neptune Township Special Operations Rescue Team (Station 34-8), Neptune Township EMS Rescue Services (Squad 34-25) and Neptune Township Police Department.
