Also, on the RadioReference web site they list a trauma situation requiring an air medivac around 4:45pm Thursday. This type of response would have required 2 fire engines and at least an ambulance.


So my best educated guess is what folks saw was actually emergency services responding to both emergencies that happened within minutes of each other.
