May 13, 2002 - 5:35pm - After assisting with a vehicle accident on southbound I-270 at Ladue Rd, 220 heard a report of a vehicle accident on the northbound side of I-270 just south of Ladue Rd. 220 arrived on the scene within minutes and contacted the Missouri Highway Patrol on his cell phone. He informed the dispatcher that there were two separate accidents involving four vehicles but there were no injuries. 220 turned on his lights and threw out his cones to block the fast lane of I-270. He then went up to check on the status of the people in both accidents. Both accidents were very minor and the occupants of both accidents were exchanging information with each other. Luckily, each accident occurred while traffic was slow and heavy. 220 relayed the information to the Creve Coeur Police officer from the earlier accident and left the scene.

The vehicle was stopped on the shoulder. 65 pulled up behind 220. The driver told 220 his muffler detached and was dragging on the ground. The driver secured the muffler again and was on his way.

May 13, 2002 - 10:20pm - Unit #65 assisted a teenage girl with a flat tire on eastbound Highway 30 one mile west of I-270.

May 13, 2002 - 10:20pm - Unit #220 went to check on the occupant of a vehicle who appeared stranded at the top of the on-ramp from Meramec Bottom Rd onto northbound I-55. The occupant explained that his car had overheated and that 220 didn't need to stick around. 220 decided to stay with the vehicle due to the way it was parked.

May 14, 2002 - 2:45pm - Unit #220 attempted to assist a stranded motorist (while on his way to Branson, MO for the weekend) at the top of the on-ramp from I-270 onto westbound I-44 near Fenton. 220 was coming down the ramp and noticed a vehicle on the shoulder very close to the traffic lane and decided to stop and check on it. 220 approached the car and saw the female driver sitting on some rocks and talking on a cell phone. Looking at the car, it appeared that she had a flat tire but it was a little more severe than that (the passengerside front wheel was completely off the vehicle and resting between the fender and the disc brakes). The female driver got off the phone as 220 approached and told him that her husband was on the way with a trailer to haul the vehicle away. Within a few minutes, the husband arrived but the vehicle could not be towed due to the severity of the problem. 220 gave a list of towing companies to the husband and within 30 minutes a tow truck arrived. The couple thanked 220 for his assistance and went on their way.

May 14, 2002 - 12:35am - Unit #220 contacted the Maryland Heights Police Department after checking out a vehicle with its flashers on at I-270 and Page Blvd. The vehicle looked suspicious because aside from a flat tire, the passenger side window had been shattered. Upon closer inspection, it looked as if someone had tried to remove the car stereo from its housing and that the same person had rifled through the vehicles' belongings. When an officer arrived, further review indicated that the vehicle was in an earlier wreck and that the vehicle should be towed to a tow yard.

May 17, 2002 - 4:00pm - Unit #02 and unit #65 were on their way to Creve Coeur Days when they came across an accident on northbound I-270 just south of I-64. There was a vehicle blocking the middle lane and two more vehicles on the shoulder. Police and fire were not on the scene yet. 65 and 02 stoppped in the middle lanes with their lights on to block it. The car in the middle lane was unoccupied. 02 set out cones behind him and 65 and started waving traffic around. A minute later a fire truck stopped in the southbound fast lane and the firemen jumped the median wall and ran over to 02. 02 told him he had no idea where the driver of the car was. The firemen walked over to check on the people in the cars on the shoulder. A minute later a Town & Country Police officer pulled up in front of 65. 02 told him the driver of the car in the middle lane was nowhere to be found. The officer called for a tow truck and ran to the shoulder to talk to the other accident victims. 02 and 65 directed traffic for another ten minutes until the tow truck arrived and removed the vehicle. The officer thanked 02 and 65 for their help with traffic. The driver of the car apparently ran away from the scene right after the accident.

May 19, 2002 - 5:00pm - Unit #65 and unit #220 were at Creve Coeur Days when 65 received a call on his cell phone. Unit #02 was calling from his work (ten miles away) and told 65 there was a huge explosion about three blocks from him (in the city). He didn't know what was going on. 220 and 65 looked east (towards 02) and saw a huge smoke cloud rising hundreds of feet into the sky. Initial reports said a plane had crashed since the smoke was a few miles from the airport. 220 and 65 immediately left the fair grounds and headed towards the smoke. On the way to the scene, they learned 500 Jonny on the Spot portable toilets were on fire at the company's factory. 65 and 220 arrived on the scene and helped with traffic control for twenty minutes. It was a two alarm fire but was brought under control within the first thirty minutes. The cause of the fire was determined arson.
