As Canton Fire and Rescue personnel were picking up from the fire on Miner street, Canton Fire and Rescue were again on the road with Morley First Responders as they were dispatched to a reported 2 car MVA at SH 310 and the Morley Potsdam road. Central Dispatch reported a T-Bone type accident with possible personal injury. Upon arrival of Canton Fire Chiefs 4-2 and 4-4, one car was off the raod approximately 25 feet with one victim still inside the car. The other car had been pushed toward the Morley Potsdam Road with one victim still inside the car as well but with minor injuries and who subsequently signed off refusing transport and medical aid. Canton Fire; Rescue 1, Engine 8 Ambulance 132 and Ambulance 131 were immediately en route to the scene. The first patient was extricated from the vehicle and immobilized on a back board by Canton Rescue personnel. Only one victim was transported to Canton Potsdam Hospital with minor injuries, and Canton units were back in service by 08:00 hours.
