Ambulance 1502 McCormick

[trynodev]

During a ride-along, we did respond to a call at a nearby VONS in Inglewood.

[legoreviewerman]

How do you get to ride with them? Are you a paramedic of something? And how do you get ALL of those videos?

[MusicMimicsLife2]

hahaha funny how you guys were from hawthorne to inglewood centinela hospital ... the same thing happen to me when i got hit by a car. an ambulance picked me up from hawthorne in el segundo and took me to the exact spot at centinela hospital . wow good times.

[CHADakaCHIZZAD]

[acurtis44]

[chriskrazycuban]

TAKE ME TO CENTINELA!!!

hhahah fn 15s that was a long as transport

[SigOperator]

@chriskrazycuban Trust me, you don't want to go to centinela, its a POS hospital

[trynodev]

There may also be an additional paramedic on the engine. In some cases, two or three of the firefighters on the truck or engine may be trained as a paramedic, but only one officially provides care. Typically, the local station responds first, followed by the rescue squad, which covers a much larger area than the station. Just after the squad, or around the same time, the ambulance arrives.

[trynodev]

There are 2 EMT's in the ambulance. On a transport, one drives, and the other rides in the back. If its an ALS transport, a paramedic from LA County Fire Department rides in the back also. The second paramedic follows the ambulance in the paramedic squad. There are usually two paramedics in the squad who respond to calls. A fire engine or truck from a local fire station typically responds in addition and likely gets to the scene first.

[trynodev]

I am an EMT and my training ride-along was with McCormick Ambulance in Inglewood.

[thatzombieplace]

[mitchelllll]

[lhr1967]

NICE

[Unhostile]

Awesome video, more please, would be even better if it was during daylight, more traffic. :D

[caramelpopcornkind]

bist du darauf mit gefahren oder hat das nen anderer für dich gefilmt

[ProudVolunteer19]

How come the Squad also responded code 3?

[chargers2960]

@ProudVolunteer19 They might of had a paramedic from the squad in the ambulance to help the single paramedic in the ambulance.

[ProudVolunteer19]

@chargers2960 Yeah I thought of that...but I'm just confused as to why the squad has to respond code 3 when there is no need for them to do so...

[jford2032]

@ProudVolunteer19 well the paramedic from the squad needs a way back to the station right? and they are also back up in case something arises and they need more man power. If im right, im pretty sure the McCormick ambulance is staffed by EMT'S ?

[chargers2960]

@jford2032 I think most EMS services run one EMT and on Paramedic.

[SpartanML]

@ProudVolunteer19 Most places that run ALS fly trucks it's usually SOP to run Code 3 to keep up with the transport unit. Additionally many times the medic operating the fly truck is relaying pertinent info to and from the personnel in the ambulance. It is wise to keep the units close especially if another call drops immediately as they arrive at the ER. Can't be waiting on the fly truck to show up.

[EMTJames]

@ProudVolunteer19 McCormick ambulance is a BLS company contracted by LACoFD. We're the BLS transport and the medic from the squad rides in the back on ALS runs. the squad follows code 3 to not only keep pace with the ambulance but to assist in clearing intersections. some folks in that neck of the woods will see the ambulance pass and assume it's clear to proceed when the squad or engine is following close behind.

[SharpAirsoft]

I love how the dispatcher is just monotone. Sounds so amazing. Nice siren.

[Nachtgestalt87]

Warum folgt das andere Fahrzeug denn der Ambulance zur Klinik?

[SmokyBarret]

@Nachtgestalt87

Ich hab zwar kA was ein Squad 14 ist, aber falls es so eine Art Notarzt ist, wird es wohl so sien, wie in Deutschland, nämlich, dass der NA hinten beim Pat. ist (wie der RA eigtl. auch) und der NEF-Fahrer (hier meist BF'ler) hinterherfährt, damit der Doc hinterher auch noch was zum heimfahren hat ;)

[freeroom88]

@SmokyBarret

Wobei es in den USA eigentlich kein NA-System gibt. Wenn überhaupt, werden die eigentlich nur bei größeren Sachen eingeflogen.

Und Squad ist an für sich einfach ne Gruppe der Feuerwehr. Am Ende sieht man das Fahrzeug im Rückspiegel. Wirkt für mich eher wie ein KLEF oder TSF-W.

[theatomicfart1001]

They had a eQ2b

[301whitehall]

@theatomicfart1001 In no part of this video whats so ever do I hear an EQ. Wrong information buddy.

[rykember11]

@301whitehall You don't hear one, but LOOK at 1:41.

[301whitehall]

@rykember11 Lmfao, I guess I skipped that part.

[jford2032]

@301whitehall actually at 1:41 there is an eQ2b, but they didn't use it....

[301whitehall]

@jford2032 Yeah..I kinda skipped that part D: haha. My bad

[KDALove]

Yay finally a North American video...

[dirty654321]

@KDALove I know right!!!

[ungatoniko]

@KDALove I am an EMT who lives in a more upscale city near here.. If McCormick is resp, it is a good time from what I know.

[flyerholland]
