Correction air was leaking iside to his brain, not away from the brain. One of his eyes are swollen shut to.

[TacticalRooster22]

OOOO!!! That's gotta hurt! Reminds me of the kid by my house. Hope he's okay.

[Xplorer4x4]

This past week and this week have been a insane.

There was a one murder down on the south side. Not to many details yet but I believe 2 guys shot a man dead in his home. Not something you hear of to often here.

Another house was shot up, the bullets barley missing one of two victims inside.

There was a van belonging to a DJ Company stolen from a gas station. An officer spotted the fan but pursued it with no lights or no siren, but sounds as though the driver spooked and ran. The driver of the stolen van eventually hit a car head on and killed the driver(I believe) of the car. The driver was in his early 20s.

There was a breaking and entering hear at my apt complex where a guy who was not on the lease, kicked the door in.

Last but not least Friday morning around midnight, a man jumped in the river. The river has an extremely strong current here, and even more so in that particular area. A civilian was able to jump in and rescue him. Police show up to check the guys welfare, he jumps back in the river and appeared as if he was pushing himself under water. Evansville Fire was called for Dive Rescue as well as mutual aid called in from a county department. Crews searched the river for about 2-3 hours before being forced to give up. The rivers so dirty and nasty and muddy that the divers were literally feeling there way along rather then actually looking. Of course side sonar equipment was in use as well, but crews were forced to give up until day light. Crews continued to search later Friday and on Saturday as well for the guy. Sunday, Casino security called Evansville fire as two bodies had washed a shore. Not surprisingly, one was the man who jumped in friday night. The other, was a good friend of mine from high school. No one knows quite how he ended up at the river at this point.

I had to go to the hospital on vacation. I had an ear infection. It was a new hospital and was very nice, but I was there for like 2 hrs.

[Xplorer4x4]

I am pretty familiar with all the sirens we use here. There all the same pretty much. Police and EMS use almost the exact same siren, and all city fire uses the Fed Q on all there rigs. Just heard the strangest siren ever, aside from one of the county BCs who uses one of those sirens that sound like an old dial up modem. Flip on the scanner and all I catch is "I'll be en-route to the jail with one naked male." lol

[TacticalRooster22]

The sirens here- FD has Q and EQ2B, ambos have common wail and stuff w/ air horn, and PD has whelen and stuff. I didn't get to see any of the Sevierville trucks while I was there.

EDIT: Heard a fire truck today. I think it was the new quint. (Still can't find a pic!! ) Was blasting the Q and air horns! Then, I went golfing with my dad. Heard/saw to EMS car and Quint. (I think. Couldn't get a good view due to trees. Could've been the engine.) Then, I was helping my dad in the yard. We were setting up for my B-Day party! Heard another truck. It was probably the engine.

[Xplorer4x4]

Evansville Police, Evansville Fire, AMR on scene of 2 car "property damage accident." Vanderburgh County Sheriff are on scene for additional traffic control as the road(practically a highway) cuts in and out of the City/County Line. East and West Lanes shut down on a divided highway.

Police Requested Crime Scene Unit. Quint 9 requested Extrication assistance from Rescue 3. Rescue 3 is stationed about 6 miles away, and even though theres a few stations closer, i think there one of the few trucks in the city with extrication equipment.

AMR Supervisor Requested 2 additional trucks besides the 2 on scene.

4 Patients transported. One with a possible broken femur. Another was transported ALS/Code 3. Unsure of the others.

[Guest emurr]

I was driving and saw a fire truck flying past a funeral procession.

it happens. my ambulance cut through a funeral procession once to get to an MVC with multiple entrapments. 2 fatalities pronounced on scene 2 transported by ALS and 1 Airlifted to level 1 trauma center

[Xplorer4x4]

With all due respect to the dead, its not like they have to be rushed to get some where. On the other hand the units rushing to the scene may save some ones life.

[joachimnor]

What is more important? Lifes or respect for the dead? i must say its more important to save someones life then

[JediHutch61]

Call from tuesday night.

Tone, Medic 119, Engine 61, injured person, address, Medic 119, Engine 61, injured person, cross streets, Respond on 9 Delta.

Medic 119 arrives on scene to find a garage engulfed in flame.

Columbus Fire, Medic 119. Go ahead 119, Columbus we have a garage fully involved and no sighting of our patient, send us a first alarm.

Our Patient comes crawling out of the garage, 3rd and 2nd degree burns over 18% of his body. We est. 2 18 GA IVs in right and left AC, gave 10 mg MS IV, and wrapped the affected areas in a burn sheet. Patient was taken lights and sirens to The Ohio State University Medical Center's Burn Unit.

When asked how this occured, the patient answered that he was taking his full gas tank out of his car, BY CANDLE LIGHT!

Once out of the room everyone from the Medic crew to the Docs could not stop laughing.

[Xplorer4x4]

Sounds like the meth lab explosion across the street here. You get much of that up that way?

Guy had burns on over 50% of his body and it took about 10 minuets for the medics to stabilize the patient. He had is apartment so air tight, I guess, the explosion buckled a section of the apartment wall.

But yet the windows did not blow out. Notice the middle set is crooked? Ruined 3 apartments and they were un-rentable for several months.

Fire in a college dorm tonight. It's in the county which is all voly territory so I am unsure what rigs they actually had enough man power to send initially, but they were trying to figure out if they needed the quint or one of the engines.

[TacticalRooster22]

Do you live in one of those apartments from the image?

[Xplorer4x4]

Nope, across the street.

My friend/neighbor had smoke inhalation a few weeks ago from a fire. Not sure why he was in the burning building but I think he was trying to rescue some one or something and had no SCBA or anything as he is just Red Cross worker. He went to the hospital tonight for breathing troubles. Engine 4 made the run which scared me because 4s is never out this way unless it is a fire, or in the case above, meth lab. I think 9s was just busy on another run so 4s had to make it instead. Still beat the ambulance by about 3 or 4 minuets surprisingly. He was taken by ambulance code 1 to the hospital.

[JediHutch61]
