On January 14, Engine 3 and Rescue 2 were dispatched for a report of an MVA with entrapment.
Upon arrival, they found an automobile lying on its side after tangling with a WWII cannon and then a building. The vehicle was traveling west along Morlot Avenue when the driver lost control and left the roadway, striking a cannon which was on display in front of local VFW Post 281. It then hit the corner of the roof on the Post's building.
Police assisted with the removal of the occupants from the car, and they were transported to a local hospital. The building inspector was requested to the scene in order to check for structural damage to the building. It was determined that there was only slight damage the roofing system. The cannon however, didn’t fare so well and its outcome has yet to be determined.
