'Thanks Lafferty, if you can get his full name and address and all that can you just send it to me over the EAT? We'll be transporting shortly. And we're good here, thanks.'
*Alright, you take the head end, and we'll lift on 3 onto the stretcher, buckle him in, then on 3 to lift the stretcher.*
'1, 2, 3.'
*We lift the backboard onto the stretcher, we lay it down, buckle all the straps, then I look at Davis again.*
'1, 2, 3.'
*We lift the stretcher while I'm pulling the black lever, the wheels drop and lock*
*We roll it to the ambulance, the small wheels on the end lock on to the ambulance, I hold up the stretcher holding the black lever while davis brings the wheels up. I push the stretcher in, and it locks*
'Thanks Davis.'
*I step in, shutting the doors. I unplug the oxygen mask fire Squad 1's O2, and attach to the ambulance O2, I turn on the oxygen, and twist the knob until it comes on. I hand the chart to Jaime.*
'You all set? I'll be right back.'
*I shut off FDs oxygen, step out the side door, and bring it over to Raven.*
"Here's your oxygen.'
*As I walk back, I retrieve the jumpbag and my tape and scissors, put the tape and scissors in my pocket, then put the jump bag in the cabinet*
*I go up to the cab of the ambulance, put the key in the ignition, press the anti-theft button, and pull away from the scene*
"EMS-1 to central transporting one male to ERT hospital."
*I drive down Orange Road, turn onto Faith's Road, then down Peach Road and Trulit Road to get back to Trulit Interpass to the hospital.*
