Incident Details:
On September 06, 2015, at 1112, ECCFPD’s E152 was dispatched to a medical aid. While enroute to the call the engine went down mechanically on Jeffery Way near Lone Tree Way (6061 Lone Tree Way).
While 52 was waiting for a replacement engine to arrive, at 1139, CCCFPD E188 was dispatched to a medical aid across the street from 52’s location, at Payless Shoe Store (5749 Lone Tree Way).
Hearing that E188 had been dispatched, ECCFPD’s crew on E152 grabbed their medical equipment and responded, on foot, across the street to Payless Shoe Store at 5749 Lone Tree Way. E152’s crew arrived on scene to find bystanders preforming CPR. 52’s crew assumed patient care, defibrillated, and continued primary patient care until AMR’s PM182 arrived on scene.
E188 also arrived on scene and assisted E152’s crew & AMR.
Two of E152’s crew members continued to assist with patient care as they rode with AMR to Sutter Delta Medical Center (SDMC). Captain 52 returned across the street to complete the engine swap. Once the swap was completed Captain 52 retrieved his crew from SDMC.
