OK Firefighters Reunite with Boy Rescued in Lengthy Extrication
Source Firehouse.com News
A group of Tulsa firefighters surprised a 9-year-old boy a month after they worked two hours to free him from a mangled truck.
Firefighter Jeff Long, who crawled into the wreckage and stayed with the boy during the lengthy extrication, stopped by Wells' school to check up on Jaden Wells and his sister.
"He held my hands and I said, man you just bear down and hold my hands when something hurts,” Long told Newson6.com.
The boy said the glove box was on his chest and his foot was struck in the wreckage and that resulted in firefighters using multiple sets of extrication equipment to free the boy.
"It was kind of scary,” Wells said. “He put this rag on my head and then we were talking about like, don't look at my knee and talking about baseball, and stuff like that."
Fortunately, Wells only suffered a fractured foot.
Firefighters gave Wells and his sister several gifts including a t-shirt and challenge coin.
