Comments
I drive her to work and am glad she is ok
we have talked about the dangers of wheelchair traveling downtown
as for the truck at the call. there are a two reasons.
#1 manpower. the medic unit only has 2 personnel sometimes more are needed
#2 the truck acts as a shield to protect the scene. as well as the fact it carries extra medical equipment
Are you actually surprised
Are you actually surprised that the victims purse was stolen it's next to the LTD station?
Why does the fire department send a vehicle of that size to a call of this nature? How environmentally responsible and cost effective of them.
Get used to it, this is the culture City Government has nurtured.
