Gamewell Box 224 alerted B-shift today around 1100hrs for a Box Alarm at Broadway & Keagy Ave . While equipment was responding, Hanover Police gave an updated about a vehicle accident close to the same location. Engine 79-3 arrived to find one vehicle into a pole. The Gamewell Box was pulled to alert the Fire Department of the accident. Great thinking of Off Duty Captain Kemmberly. The Box was held to Engine 79-3 and Truck 79, while Met-Ed secured the power and towing company removed the vehicle.
