On June 16th, Fire companies were dispatched for a vehicle overturned with entrapment in the area of 1930 Lawrence Road.  Upon arrival Squad 38 went into service and cut the A-Post of a pick up truck.  Luckily the man was able to walk away with almost no injuries.  Just the next day (17th) Fire companies were dispatched for another vehicle overturned with entrapment at Penn and Lancaster Ave.  The patient was extricated from the vehicle and the Squad stood by for fluid clean up and assistance of patient care.  The patient had a positive loss of  consciousness and was flown via PennSTAR to The University of Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia.    Picutres will be posted when they are available

This year our very own Randy Berman will be graduating from West Chester University with a teaching degree, specializing in physical education.  It has been a long 6 years for Randy, but through it all he maintained an active run status and was an integral part of the company.  On behalf of the Oakmont Fire Company , Congraulations and good luck in the future.
