On March 12, 2024, at approximately 11:28 PM, the Monelison Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to an ATV accident on Garford Road. Squad 21 promptly responded to the scene.

Upon arrival, firefighters found the ATV operator and the vehicle approximately 75 yards down an embankment in a creek bed. Rescue personnel were already attending to the operator. Due to the steep incline, fire personnel utilized a stokes basket and rope system to safely extricate the operator from the creek bed.

After successfully bringing the operator up the embankment, fire personnel remained on the scene to assist wrecker services with the removal of the ATV. The cause of the accident is currently under investigation by the Amherst County Sheriff's Office.
