The day started for Volunteers of Thorndale at 1539hrs when Company 38 along with Ambulance 41 and Medic 93 were dispatched to Bondsville Rd in the area of Meadow Drive for the accident with entrapment. Rescue 38 and Traffic 38 made the response and arrived to find a single vehicle into a tree with a female driver confined inside with injuries. While EMS was inside of the vehicle tending to the patient the Rescue crew performed a door pop and was able to gain access to the patient. Extrication took less then 5 minutes. EMS transported the female patient to an area hospital.

As crews were clearing the scene of this accident a second emergency was reported at St Martha's Manor for the fire alarm. The Rescue crew cleared the accident and responded to fire alarm which turned out to be a false activation and incident was turned over to maintenance at the facility.

Later in the evening as the rain fell in Chester County the Thorndale Volunteers were alerted again for two calls within a minute of each other. At 23:44 Company 38 along with Ambulance 41 and Medic 93 were dispatched to 11th and Foundry Street for a vehicle stranded in high water. Then at 2345hrs Companies 41,43, 38 for an Engine, Engine 76, Engine 37, Rescue 44 and Ambulance 37 were dispatched to 144 E Lincoln Highway for a house fire reported as a deck. As Rescue 38 and Engine 38 were about to respond to the two calls both were recalled. Companies 41 & 43 extinguished the porch fire with an extinguisher and everyone was out of the vehicle at the water rescue and no fire company services were needed.

Units: Rescue 38, Engine 38, Traffic 38, Chief 38, Deputy 38 and Assistant 38
