A bad case of "Rileyism".

Well, the last couple of days, which were the first two days of our tour, have been fairly busy. It has been mostly EMS and master box alarms. The heights reposnded to an industrial accident involving a bull dozer and the outcome could have been a whole lot worst had it not been the quick response by one of the workers on the scene. Apparently a bull dozer rolled backwards (unattended) and was about to pin a guy between it and a pick em' up truck when at the last second the driver of the truck lurched forward. The guy did get squeezed but was thrown about 10 feet before the dozer could pin him. He suffered some minor injuries and we can't figure out why he didn't break any bones. The Lord was definitely looking out for him. Firefighter/Paramedic Mumford (Ambulance 7) took an officer and firefighter from Engine 7 to assist him in the back of the ambul. to the hospital. He doesn't do that very often, as in maybe once every four or five shifts. On Monday however, he took a third with him on 4 of the 6 Ems runs he had. Firefighter/Paramedic Riley (Manor station Ambulance 5) should be proud of him.
