Plane crashes outside
of Waymart
On Sunday July 5, 2009, Company 43, Rescue 75,
Company 94, Waymart EMS, and Mobile 9 were dispatched to Stone
Bridge Lane in Clinton Township at 17:47 hours for a small plane
that had crashed. 75 Captain arrived on scene to report a small
plane over a ravine with one patient. This small plane apparently
lost power on the approach to the landing strip, slamming to the
slide of a ravine, coming to rest on some downed trees. The pilot
was still in the plane when emergency services arrived. The plane
was immediately secured preventing it from sliding down the hill
side into the stream below. Once extricated by Rescue 75, the pilot
was treated by Waymart EMS and Mobile 9 then transported to CMC
hospital. The cause of the crash is under investigation by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Story from
