PITTSBURGH — The week began with a flurry of activity for the Paramedics of Rescue 2. Personnel from Medic 2 and Rescue 2, alongside Mount Oliver Volunteer Fire Department, carried out a high-angle evacuation for a medical patient.

Shortly after, Rescue 2 responded to a call where a patient and her dog were trapped in a stalled elevator. The team successfully extricated them both.
