Download media Play on iPhone

The midweek news this week leads off with a story from Arizona about a talented dog that dialed 911 for his owner who was having a seizure.  Next up, a look at the increase in fuel prices causing response concerns and changes in staffing and program organization.  This is even a bigger concern when the gas stations run out of fuel.

A quick look at an ambulance driver charged with negligence following a motor vehicle accident where he allegedly ran a red light on a patient transport call.  Both the driver of the other vehicle and a crew member in the back were injured.  Finally, a look at a Union dispute out of Cleveland, Ohio.  A program to provide first response units on fire engines to provide care prior to arrival of EMS units has been challenged by EMS Union officials saying the program should be handled by EMS providers in their organization and not paramedic/firefighters from the fire department.
