Early on Sunday morning (April 21, 2019), firefighters from Lyons were dispatched to the intersection of Forest View Terminal Drive and Harlem Avenue following a collision involving a car and a gasoline tanker. The incident proved particularly challenging as the car became wedged underneath the tanker, leaving the driver trapped inside. Given the hazardous nature of the situation, a Foam Task Force was urgently called in from O'Hare Airport to support local emergency services at the scene.
The images captured by photographers Tim Olk and Gordon J. Nord, Jr., provide a vivid glimpse into the intense efforts undertaken by the firefighters to ensure safety. The application of foam, a critical measure in such scenarios, is clearly visible in multiple photos, highlighting the coordinated response by various units. These photographs not only document the severity of the accident but also showcase the professionalism and dedication of those involved in managing the situation.
As the situation unfolded, responders worked meticulously to stabilize the tanker and carefully extricate the trapped driver. The use of foam underscores the importance of employing specialized techniques when dealing with potential fuel leaks or fires, especially in incidents involving flammable materials. The collaboration between local firefighting teams and the Foam Task Force highlights the value of having well-coordinated emergency protocols in place.
