This would be a half house response. A full house response requires all FIRE trucks be in the bays of the fire station. My dad was a firefighter 27 years in Indiana
That's the Seattle Fire Department Headquarters where Emergency was taped (Medic One ALS, Ladder 1 and Engine 10) along with Harborview Hospital, the Space Needle and the former Kingdome. Seattle was one of the first cities in America to introduce paramedic services with BLS (Basic Life Support) and ALS (Advanced Life Support) The movie showed differences in Fire Department paramedic services; Seattle- Fire Department transport patients themselves while Los Angeles County use private ambulances to transport patients. San Francisco the fire department handle physical rescue while the Department of Health conduct paramedic services. In the late 1990s, the San Francisco Fire Department handle paramedic services
@@mr.wilson8340 Los Angeles City and County, Seattle and Miami-Dade and the Maryland State Police Aviation Unit were the first paramedic programs around the country. The Maryland State Police Aviation Unit was formed by a grant for a Bell Jet Ranger for police and medical use; the medical use was it's priority along with Baltimore Shock Trauma director Dr. R. Adams Cowley who created the golden hour. Jack Webb asked the Los Angeles City government to create a show about their paramedic program and he was turned down. The late Jim Page invited producer Robert Cinader for a ride along with the Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedic program and the rest is history. It's the worst mistake the City ( not County) of Los Angeles ever made.
A diabetic problem would only get a single ambulance response here, staffed by two paramedics. Back up would be called if required, as mostly if a hypoglycaemic event Paramedics gat fix the problem on scene.
This is what I find interesting, in England you would get a double crewed ambulance and maybe a fast response car with an advanced paramedic if it was assessed as immediately life threatening, if you were in a rural area and it's immediately life threatening then theres a possibility that you might get helimed with critical care paramedics or a trauma doctor
Though I don't live in Tacoma I just want to say thank you all for your service thank you for helping out in the community be blessed sincerely Michigan resident
This is too weird: This video just now popped up on my recommended list, and at this very moment I'm sitting across the street (Washington @ 4th) from this station. [Edit to add that the double-decker bus you see at 0:43 is one of "my" buses, leaving our downtown lot on the way to start a trip through town on its way north. Is that the theme from 'The Twilight Zone' I hear playing?]
"Get with the program"? Seattle CREATED the program that is followed by many fire departments around the country. There are two main types of EMS units here: Aid Cars that are manned by EMTs, and Medic Units that are manned by paramedics. They have distinctive radio call signs, such as "Aid 10" or "Medic 7," and the equipment and supplies vary between the two types. Laugh all you want, but Seattle's Medic One program is the envy of many.
@@seikibrian8641 sure they did...it started in LACounty then San Francisco. While I know Seattle is a great department, as I’ve seen their work first hand. I just think I’d funny while all other departments use the term EMS, Seattle still does not want to use it .
@@Shuttletrain "it started in LACounty" LA County's paramedic program began with their "Rescue Squad" units, and they couldn't transport patients but had to call ambulances to transport. Seattle's paramedic program was transport-capable from the beginning.
Full house responses are always awesome to film and see on video; A few months ago I was able to film my 3rd full house response, after the others are quite some years ago
