San Diego's bravest rushed to the scene of a vehicle entrapment early Sunday morning as a call for help summoned firefighters to a portion of the southbound Interstate 5 near Camino De La Plaza in San Ysidro. Per the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department's records, the incident, designated as FS24078356, was reported at 2:59 a.m., and units were quick on the scene by 3:03 a.m., their response a mere four minutes in the making.

According to the Patch report, the operation was a well-coordinated ballet of emergency services that involved three engines, one truck, one rescue, two battalion chiefs, and one medic, totaling 24 personnel working seamlessly, with the city of Chula Vista also lending a hand in the dark, pre-dawn hours to secure the area and aid in the extrication of the entrapped individual.

Fortunately, no fatalities were reported in the incident, with a single patient, extracted by the SDFD personnel, transported to UCSD in code 10 condition—a term signaling emergency care. The authorities have not released details surrounding the crash's circumstances or the injured's identity, directing inquiries to the California Highway Patrol, who are investigating the finer points of the incident.

The rescue, ultimately declared closed at 4:39 a.m., echoed the steadfast readiness and professionalism of San Diego's emergency crews, the men and women dedicated to the city's safety.
