At 1439 Hours Station 58 was alerted to the intersection of Blevins Road and Orchard Road in Hopewell Township to set up a landing zone for Station 54 (Stewartstown). Station 54 was on a 2 vehicle head on collision with one patient entrapped with multiple other patients. Engine 58-2(Lt. Shearer) was advised to set up a landing zone at Blevins Road and Orchard Road. Due to STAT MedEvac 13's short ETA Engine 54-4 set up a landing zone and landed STAT 13. Shortly before arriving on scene command advised Engine 58-2 that STAT MedEvac 10 was also en route to the scene and to assist Engine 54-4 with the landing zone. Crews arrived on scene and used a charged hand line off 54-4 to help secure the scene. STAT MedEvac 10 landed on scene and within a few minutes was ready to take off. Crews assisted STAT 10 in moving the patient across the field. After STAT 10 was in the air command placed Engine 58-2 in service. Great job to Station 54
