Company 10 was alerted for the tree fire at approximately 0115 hrs. E-104 responded with two while enroute they were advised a second caller was now reporting an auto fire. E-101 was alerted and responded with four. E-104 arrived to find an auto off the roadway into a tree with the auto well off. E-104, not knowing where abouts of the occupants of the vehicle, asked for the assignment to be upgraded for a MVC. E-104 pulled the small line and began to attack the fire and check around the vehicle for any of the occupants. Communications advised E-104 that the lone occupant had been picked up by a passerby and taken to CIVISTA for treatment. E-101 arrived and assisted in mopping up the hot spots.
