Glad to hear the wounds aren't life threatening for the vollie...

The suspect on the other hand... I won't shed a tear over.

Sorry about that, I guess I should have run a search instead of looking just in the EMS News section.

My feelings exactly.

If anything, this is a good reminder that situational awareness is more than just a phrase.

Listening to the radio communication, all I have to say is communication between everyone could of been a little better in my opinion.

At least the ff will be ok.
