Friday, May 24 at approximately 8:01 pm:
E4, E2 and C3 were dispatched on
an inside investigation. E4 arrived on scene and was met by the homeowner who
stated that they smelled smoke in their home. E4 investigated and determined
that the odor was due to a fire in an outside fire place earlier in the
evening. Crew members utilized the TIC and checked void spaces in the home.
With no hazards found, all other responding units were cancelled and E4 cleared
the scene.
Friday, May 24 at approximately 8:57 pm:
E1 was dispatched on a report of
an unresponsive individual. Crew members arrived on scene and found the PT in
the bed of a pickup truck with CPR being performed by bystanders. E1’s
paramedic assessed the PT and determined that defibrillation was needed. After
defibrillation CPR was continued. Crew members followed cardiac arrest protocol
and inserted an airway adjunct and began ventilating the PT via bag-valve-mask.
EMS arrived on scene and PT care was transferred. The PT was quickly packaged
for transport and moved to the back of the ambulance. Further treatment was
provided including IV access and resuscitation drugs. EMS transported the PT
emergency traffic to an area hospital with one firefighter on board to provide
further care.

E2, R1, C3, Squad 2 and Squad 3
were dispatched for Search and Rescue for a missing child in the area of
Crocket Park. E2 arrived first on scene and made contact with the reporting
party, who gave a description of the child and a direction of travel. Squad 2
and Squad 3 were directed to begin searching the park, with Squad 2 following
the bike path that the child had reportedly taken. Squad 3 went to the other
end of the trail and located the child. The child was not injured and was
reunited with their grandparents. All units cleared the scene.
