Are you a Medic or on the BLS?

I'm on the BLS, and we never responded. The cause was something related to a heater, I didn't hear all of it, but the building was quickly ventilated and the school's heating system was deactivated.

There was a water rescue in the Ohio River last night. EFD and EPD responded as well as AMR.

About 5 or so EPD.
1 Ladder
2 Engines
1 Rescue Truck w/ Dive Rescue Trailer.
2 BCs
1 Brush Truck w/ EFDs Water Rescue Boat
About 4 EFD Divers
2 AMR Ambulances
1 Contract Tow Truck
1 Contract Heavy Rescue Crane

The entire operation lasted over 3 hours. A 27 year old female drove a Chevy Colorado down the exit ramp for the river front plaza and in to the water. It was about 40* F outside and about 11PM.

EFD rescued her and crews were able to revive her. Rescue operations took about 20 minuets to 30 minutes. Rumor is it took emergency crews about 20 minuets to get there. I find that hard to believe, but thats what I was told by some one who talked to the eye witnesses.

I do know that the Divers were told they did not have time to suit up on land. Divers had to suit up on the boat. Judging by radio transmission this was not standard procedure.

Salvage operations on the other hand took over 2 hours. Granted there was no longer a life at stake but 2+ hours? Better safe then sorry but surley in nearly freezing conditions they would have wanted to get out of there as quick as possible. The rivers been a dumping ground for stolen cars for years anyways so I was surprised they got the truck out.

2/3 police cars in the fleet, the BLS ambulance, Paramedics, and Engine 1 standby 2 blocks out, responding to a Gang fight, shots fired.


Guess what, my town doesn't have gangs, it was somebody who thought it would be hilarious to prank call the police with that. The police didn't find it as funny as the caller did, neither was the Fire Chief who rode on Engine 1 for this call.

Probably the most exciting one this week:

Well, I was walking around LVFD Station 1, bored to death, when Larry_Lawless decided to do water training. We did three water rescues, two from a dock, and one jumping off a huge bridge. After that, we had a three car MVA before a brush fire...yes it was training but its the only recent thing
