Can you say overkill? A simple “Rescue Automobile” would’ve done the trick.

Rollovers with the possibility of people being trapped are SOP Heavy Rescue calls for SFD, FYI. Some of the units were canceled fairly quickly but they don’t know what they have until they get there and it might be a matter of life or death. Same thing with house/structure fires – big callout, start canceling when you get there if it’s not warranted.
