Car trouble: At 2:42 p.m., Snoqualmie firefighters responded to a smoke scare in a Land Cruiser. The driver was dropping off a passenger when they noticed smoke coming from the engine compartment. Believing it was a fire, they called 911. The cause was brake fluid that had squirted onto the warm engine, creating smoke.

Sleeping: At 5:11 a.m., firefighters responded to a report of a man slumped over his steering wheel in the parking lot of the Snoqualmie Ridge golf course. Upon arrival, they found the patient was conscious, his vehicle was out of gas and he’d just decided to take a nap.

Fall: At 11:09 a.m., firefighters assisted a 71-year-old woman who’d slipped and fallen while in the shower. She stated that the only pain she was experiencing was from her position in the tub. Firefighters assisted her out of the tub with a gait belt, then assessed her and determined she was uninjured. She declined to go to the hospital, so firefighters left her with instructions for her caretaker.

Collision: At 4:34 p.m., Snoqualmie firefighters responded with other units for a report of a child hid by a car. The child was reported to be conscious and crying, after being hit by the car when she ran into the street. The crew examined the child and found she had a puncture wound on one leg and multiple abrasions on her body. The driver of the vehicle said he had just turned the corner when the child ran in front of his vehicle and couldn’t have been going more than 10 to 15 mph. The mother said she witnessed the accident and didn’t believe the child went under the car. There was no obvious damage to the vehicle, and no smears in the dirt on the car to indicate where the child was struck. Firefighters continued evaluating the child and decided, because of her age and widespread pain, to take full c-spine precautions and placed her on a spinal board. They also splinted her leg and transported her to an area hospital.
