Successful Flatbed Towing & Vehicle recovery Operation
When the Pennsylvania State Police call for flatbed towing, we know it’s an opportunity to serve our community. Law enforcement requested our help with removing a 1989 Lincoln Town Car. The vehicle was involved in a fire on I-79, southbound. We immediately dispatched a flatbed truck and an experienced operator to the 57.5MM mark, ready to handle the situation.
Upon arrival, our operator worked closely with the State Troopers and fire department to ensure the scene’s safety. Assessing the situation, our operator took extra precautions to ensure the vehicle was cool enough for transport. Safety always comes first in flatbed towing, vehicle recovery, or towing operations.
However, the job didn’t end with the transport. Back at the impound, the vehicle, still containing smoldering personal items, unexpectedly reignited. We quickly coordinated with the City of Pittsburgh Fire Department’s Station 28, which arrived with a pumper truck and four firefighters to extinguish the flames.
In the face of this unforeseen event, our team at McGann and Chester didn’t hesitate. Before the arrival of the fire department, we took proactive measures by venting the remaining windows and moving the vehicle away from others in the lot. This shows that our team is trained to handle stressful situations on the road and in the office.
