On October 8, the Rochester (NY) Fire Department (RFD) was called by the Rochester Police Department (RPD) after a car they attempted to make a traffic stop on took off at a high rate of speed. RPD did not continue the chase, but soon after found the car in the bedroom of a single-occupancy dwelling not far from the original location.
三名男子从现场跑来跑去，两个人很快被逮捕，第三个人仍然在整个地方。房屋被一对夫妇和他们的成年儿子占领。由于前院的形状像坡道，涉及的高速，汽车上场了。车辆安息在熟睡的夫妇的顶部。该名女子迅速被撤职，并被送往当地医院。
RFD Group 2 dispatched a full rescue assignment including thehazmattruck and two special operation units. In all, Battalion Chief Dupra reported that it was the equivalent of a second-alarm assignment in arescueconfiguration.

Crews went to work to stabilize the vehicle with cribbing. A cut station was set up nearby to continue making the correct size pieces. Air bags were used to complete four-inch lifts to accommodate the next level of shoring. They encountered a new challenge as the car cut the chimney in half, which then fell on the front of the car. Each lift shifted the chimney slightly. The regional medical director, Jeremy Cushman (Car 906) arrived on scene to assist Rural Metro paramedics. An extra ambulance was staged for the rescue operation as well.
After one hour and 40 minutes of time, they freed the victim, who remained conscious through the entire ordeal. Battalion Chief Dupra said that gasoline nor hot engine parts were a factor in the rescue.
