Surprising that EMS is calling LPS to break down appt door for unresponsive patient instead of LFD. I always get the sense that LPD is the most tardy or unavailable of the services compared to fire.
Is car 1 active again? I've either seen car 2 at station one a lot the last 2 days, or they're using a F250 for car 1 again instead of the Explorer they purchased early 2020
Does anyone know if the Churches Chicken at Westmount mall (formerly the TD bank) is still going to happen? It's still not open, still has a sign that says coming soon and also still has a for-lease sign in the window.
OPP doing a vehicle take down, sounds like collision, dogs in suspect car. Government rd, Grand Bend. Car had Mich plates, 2 or 3 (large) dogs, female driver on coke, 2 OPP cruisers damaged.
Heard ambulance say they are staged at entrance waiting for police to give go ahead “someone shot in the air” not sure if that was related. I didn’t hear a gun shot
Fire has been dispatching various vehicles over the past 15 minutes to Vic hospital, being cagey about what's going on (see your print-out). It's some sort of "tech rescue". Any idea what's going on? Might be on the roof of the parking garage.
Fire dispatched to pedestrian mvc - "see your printout". Car 6 said "I have no printout", dispatch asked if wanted address over the air, car 6 said emphatically "yes". Why all of a sudden is fire dispatch not putting out location info over the air for vehicle incidents?
OPP is doing radar right now. Anyone know where? Tesla doing 131 just caught. I wonder if anyone's ever asked Musk to put radar detectors in the Tesla.
3 people were arrested southwest of London Wednesday night after a break-and-enter was reported in progress. Middlesex County OPP called to a home on Bells Road near Southwold after two masked men broke in with a gun and a bat. The homeowner confronted the intruders and fled the home. Canine teams found and arrested the two men on foot close to the home.
OPP are tracking a male, believed to have fired shots at a person or a home to the east of Muncey, tracking happening in a woodlot carriage rd / little church rd.
If anyone has the clip to this afternoons call to 693 Talbot i would appreciate it if it landed in my email. time is between 1310 and 1340Thanks. I seem to have left my membership unchecked for a bit. i will need to catch that up LOL
EMS is bringing a 40's male to St thomas hospital code 1 VSA. They're doing cpr and say they haven't shocked him. I have to ask why. Why do cpr? You're not going to bring him back by doing cpr. Too bad he's going to die because they're not going to defib him.
I think they are at the movie theater at westmount mall for a burning smell that they now think is coming from a neighborhood bbq that got pulled into the theater air system.
Can't find "Van Bobbles" towing anywhere. This is the towing company that is almost always dispatched by OPP for cars caught stunt driving, but I can't find them anywhere on the web.
it’s just awful that someone broke into smileys pizza shop last night. they are going through so much right now because the owner is in a coma in the Hospital
I would imagine there would have been a lot of noise, sirens associated with this police call (?) on morning of Aug 5 -> Login or Register for the link
A few things from tonight. 4-year old punched in the face at Timmy"s Adelaide and Oxford. Someone stabbed in the chest at Dundas and Richmond and another stabbing at the Saly Ann. I bet none of these will be in the news.
EMS has called Fire for unconcious (I believe, not VSA). EMS has given 2 doses of narcan, but has still called Fire. No idea why. Why wouldn't EMS be bundling the patient up for transport to hospital? Fire get there, 3 story walkup, but patient is outside, in green space behind building. Fire then is told by EMS on scene that patient got up and ran away. It still baffles me why fire is called to stuff like that.
Tow trucks are going to hear the EMS dispatch location, so it doesn't matter if Fire doesn't broadcast it. I think for same reason Fire doesn't broadcast suicide calls (it's "see your printout" for those). If extracation is needed I think that's why they don't broadcast the location.
one reason the fire are getting see printout for the MVC are that two many tow trucks are listening to the scanner and showing up and are just getting in the way
Interesting. Fire is responding to I believe an MVC, with extracation, but dispatch won't say where it is. They are saying "see your printout". I've never heard them not broadcast the location before. It is a car, on it's side. Engine 2 / Car 2 is dealing with it.
OPP: Until we find out the extent of the driver's injuries, this hiway is going to remain closed. Really? Driver is GCS 15 and is going to live. Why should it matter if he has a broken foot or leg or what - why not open the highway? Still - the painting truck should not have been doing road painting at night on the 401. And there should have been a pickup truck following behind it - ?
@ hornet, if you say so, but I check a black bag with 2 doses of 4mg narcan in it every shift. So end of story, 100% we carry it and use it. (from my husband who is LFD)
Anyone hear what happened in front of Sherwood Tim Hortons this morning? Big white pickup truck had a LOT of activity, south bound Wonderland was completely blocked off.
I’m a paramedic. You’ll have to ask your family again. LFD absolutely has a role in all the unconscious and VSAs they get tiered to. Extra hands, getting there before us etc. But hands down, definitely do not carry Narcan.
@SumGuy LFD DOES carry and administer Narcan. They do not get extra pay for attending calls. Their job is far more comprehensive than just putting out fires. While we might not understand the intricacies of all of the jobs of emergency personnel, I am thankful we send help when (and if) help is needed!
@ SumGuy, i have no idea and dont care. if they are being paid to staff a station and respond to emergencies then whats the problem? maybe do some of your own research and get your facts straight. theres a fire master plan that explains all of it and feel free to read it or just sit on your computer and complain.
Whp at the City of London is looking at all the stats, the records of all the 911 responses, and is making sane, wise planning decisions as to what responses make sense and which ones are a complete waste of time / resources / money?
@ SumGuy, and no they dont get paid for going to calls. they are a based salary like every other emergency service in the city. and again, they adminsiter narcan as my family member has done before.
Fire get waived off many VSA and unconcious calls. There is a huge increase in homeless people in this city, and they are sleeping all over the place and people don't want to come near them but call 911 and fire rolls for NO REASON. It's going to BANKRUPT US if these calls continue and firemen get paid extra to respond to these calls.
@ SumGuy, you clearly have no idea how the system works so quit running your mouth like you do. Fire is tiered for any unconcious or VSA 911 call. Do you just take a chance that the call will turn into nothing or get there and the patient is VSA or OD where fire can assist the patient. Theres policies the city runs and thats how they do it. clearly you have never needed any emergency services and if you did you will be happy when anyone shows up.
Do you think an elderly nursing home resident who appears to be unconcious is going to need narcan? And - I don't think we know definativly whether or not fire DOES carry and administer narcan. I have NEVER EVER heard a fire radio broadcast where they say they have administered narcan. Ask your family member if they get paid extra for rolling.
Thing is, Fire will show up for both VSA and unconcious. An unconcious person at a nursing home will not be in need of cardiac resuscitation. A nursing home needs firemen to "take vitals and make patient stable" ??? This call came in as unconcious. So again why roll a firetruck? And I still want to know if firemen get paid extra for actually rolling on a call.
You said it yourself, the call was mid-characterized. Resources are dispatched based on what the info the 911 caller gives. When fire arrives they can take vitals and make sure the patient is stable.
They can have a dozen people in their care but not all of them will be having a heart attack at the same time. And this wasn't even a heart attack. It was mis-characterized as "unconcious". So if they're breathing and have a pulse, sure, call 911 first, but again I defy you to explain why fire has to show up in that case. What aid exactly are they going to render?
You realize that a nurse or PSW can have 5-15 people in their care at once. Calling 911 will get resources there to help that person when you can help the rest.
If I'm a nursing home patient and I have a heart attck then someone there better d*mn well rip that defib off the wall and slap it on my chest before they pick up the phone and call 911. Emergency defib units are designed to be used by a single person, not a team. If a nursing home patient has a pulse, then I defy you to explain what aid firemen can give.
@SumGuy do you realize how many people it takes to run a cardiac arrest? Most of the time fire responds for man power and because they can get there before an ambulance.
Fire now heading to a nursing home for an unconcious patient. I'm sure they'll be able to render all sorts of aid there because nursing homes, as we know, have no medical equipment or trained staff at all that can render basic medical aid. Fire on scene says patient is semi-concious and breathing. Wow, just showing up brings the patient back to life! Send those firemen to all the hospitals and do the same!
Login or Register for the link Looks to be affiliated with Fanshaw? I didn't know that sand could be so combustible. Better call Geico! I don't think they'll be playing volleyball there any time soon...
Well well, LFD actually fighting a fire! Some volleyball place on westin or weston rd? Looking at on-line photo's of the place, looks like a steal wall and roof industrial building - with a lot of sand. Not sure what's there that can burn. Sounds like they had to break into the place - to put out a dumpster fire?
Does the pay structure for firemen include additions or extras for actual rolling responses and "on-scene" deployment? And again, what help could they possibly render to someone who is just sleeping in a public place? The risk to the public (accidents) is not zero when it comes to a code-4 fire truck.
A fire engine is right now heading to Earl Nicols arena, the playgound area, for an unconcious male. What will they do when they get there? Will they extract him because he's trapped in playground equpment? Will they give him oxygen because he's inhaled smoke? Nope. They've been cancelled by police and EMS on scene, the male was just having a nap. Why does fire keep responding to calls like this?
Isin't it nice the LFD reworked a fire at a homeless camp to make it safer for them to cook food and dry clothes, while noting there was not a responsible person to give further instructions to. There will be more homeless people soon as interest rates go higher...
The rules for having Fire respond to VSA were probably developed at a time when people we not dropping in the street from fentanyl overdoses. VSA's in the past were (a) rare, and (b) caused by something like heart attack or stroke. Today, these VSA's are not really VSA - they are essentially in a deep sleep and the caller does not want to approach them. It is a huge waste of resources for Fire to respond to VSA calls. I've never heard LFD say they've admninstered narcan to anyone.
@ SumGuy, LFD does administer narcan and have done so many times saving lives. 911 doesn't decide who goes and who doesnt based on the call. if its declared as a unconscious patient or vsa they are automatically tiered with ems. thats the policy and its beneficial for everyone
Fire responding to elderly female, VSA, valid DNR, cpr not being done. So why is fire responding? And regarding fire and narcan, I have never heard fire say that they've administered narcan over the radio. LFD always benchmarks every action they do, and I've never heard that.
LFD can administer narcan, just because someone is unconscious or suspected overdoes narcan isn’t the first option. Also if PD gets on scene first they can also administer narcan.
@sumguy most of the time LFD can get there sooner. Ambulances are severely short right now so if there is someone a block away or a few min drive it makes sense to send FD
Fire is frequently called to unconcious people found "just lying on the ground" (ie no extrication or lifting needed). Unless fire is set up to administer naloxone I don't see the point of having fire respond to those situations. I never hear "765 benchmark naloxone given" for example. Fire should respond to unconcious people not needing extrication only if EMS calls them directly from the scene.
