East Northport FD with an MVA at the intersection of Townline Road and Pulaski Road, where Townline becomes Bread & Cheese Hollow Road. There was a full-sized dumpster-truck overturned on it's left side, on top of a Honda Civic. The victim in the Civic was heavily pinned, as the truck was resting on the driver's side of the sedan. ENFD responded with Engine 4, Rescue 3, Ambulance 5 and at least one Chief's vehicle. The tool was put into operatrion to remove the rear passenger-side door, but it was not enough to free the patient. As of now, I am unsure of the outcome of this situation.
