Sunday, June 10 at
approximately 12:27 pm:
E2 was dispatched on a report of
uncontrollable bleeding. Upon arrival crew members found 1 PT lying on the
floor and bleeding heavily from their leg. Bystanders had attempted to control
the bleeding but had been unsuccessful. E2 notified the responding EMS unit
that the PT was critical, and that they would need to be immediately loaded
into the ambulance for emergency transport. While the ambulance was being
prepared, E2’s crew applied additional bandages and assessed the PT. Initially
the PT was unresponsive but began to awaken as they were treated. PT care was
transferred, the PT was loaded into the ambulance, and E2 assisted with
starting dual IV’s, cardiac monitoring, advanced airway management and oxygen
therapy. The PT was transported emergency traffic to an area hospital for
further treatment.
Monday, June 11 at approximately 6:51 pm:
E3 responded to a report of a
fallen tree which had struck a vehicle and knocked down a power line. Upon arrival, crew members found that a tree
had fallen onto a parked car and the electrical service to a home. The vehicle
was crushed at the roof on the right rear corner and the rear glass was
shattered. The electrical service was down but still connected to the power
pole. The appropriate utility company was contacted, and responded to the scene
to secure the power. Once they had arrived and the scene was made safe, E-3
assisted the home owner with cutting limbs out of the way in order to clear a
path for the new service to be installed. After cutting limbs and pulling them
to the road, E3 returned to service.
