One area fire district gets two emergencies for the price of one on Saturday night.

According to a Facebook post from the Eagle Rock Golden Mano Fire Protection District, crews were responding to a Mutal Aid request from the Central Crossing Fire Protection District in Shell Knob when they came across a vehicle at Farm Road 1180 and Farm Road 2275 in Eagle Rock that had overturned with one person trapped in the vehicle.

While one unit continued to the fire in Shell Knob, the other units diverted to the traffic crash freeing a person from the vehicle who was not injured according to the report.
