Bodies Litter the Streets

CFD overtime cuts??

  • Hey SCC. Here is a good one for our friends at C F.D. Yesterday morning C F.D. ambulance job at the bus stop at 47th Campbell in 009. They get there and person is D.O.A. They call for us but no cars available at the time. What do they do? Put a white sheet over the body and leave. Some citizen calls 911 a half hour later and asks "Is this how something like this is handled? Beat Sgt asks for a C.F.D.supervisor on scene. Gets in touch with assigned ambulance who relates they left because it was shift change.Can't make this up and all documented in death investigation report.

You think there will be a directive to "allow" overtime so dead bodies aren't sitting in the bus shelters?

The Dead Collector: Bring out yer dead.
[a man puts a body on the cart]
Large Man with Dead Body: Here's one.
The Dead Collector: That'll be ninepence.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not dead.
The Dead Collector: What?
Large Man with Dead Body: Nothing. There's your ninepence.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not dead.
The Dead Collector: 'Ere, he says he's not dead.
Large Man with Dead Body: Yes he is.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not.
The Dead Collector: He isn't.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm getting better.
Large Man with Dead Body: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.
The Dead Collector: Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I don't want to go on the cart.
Large Man with Dead Body: Oh, don't be such a baby.
The Dead Collector: I can't take him.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel fine.
Large Man with Dead Body: Oh, do me a favor.
The Dead Collector: I can't.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, can you hang around for a couple of minutes? He won't be long.
The Dead Collector: I promised I'd be at the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, when's your next round?
The Dead Collector: Thursday.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I think I'll go for a walk.
Large Man with Dead Body: You're not fooling anyone, you know. Isn't there anything you could do?
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel happy. I feel happy.
[the Dead Collector glances up and down the street furtively, then silences the Body with his a whack of his club]
Large Man with Dead Body: Ah, thank you very much.
The Dead Collector: Not at all. See you on Thursday.
Large Man with Dead Body: Right.

Simple solution would be to load the body up and hand the keys over at shift change.

There was a candidate on that Ambo with a very seasoned paramedic. Hope that candidate has more than 9 months on the job. I see a 30 day suspension on the horizon, otherwise.

I don't blame them. How long are they suppose to wait for a beat car to show up? Should have dropped the body off at a hospital otherwise let them go home. I'm sure POs would have been complaining about being held over.

009 on days are a bunch of dogs. Good for nothing and milking jobs. It’s not like the past where days had time, this watch has kids with 3-4 years on that complained enough to get on days.

Pfft. A tac team probably dropped him off there instead of dropping him in the nearest district lobby like they usually do with homeless vagrants that they can't turn into a CB number. Btw what was the DOA's name? I only ask because he will probably vote in our next mayoral election.

920 had the job but 009 was backlogged who knows but the body wasn’t fresh so to speak already in rigor and decomposing probably dumped or dragged out there and dumped from a near by residence.

The real question is how are the cars never available yet we see them sitting or driving right past scenes? Gotta love calling for the police for a hostile subject and nobody available. I’m not necessarily pointing fingers but many times we’ve been told nobody available and a few cars drive past. Hell I’ve been told “not my best or district.” Now most of you guys help us out immensely but you knows there are some crows out there just like our job. What’s the real reason there are never cars available? Bullshit busy work or duckers?

Actually this story is untrue. The police pulled up while ambulance was there, was all on a ring camera. They assigned a different unit that came after the first one. Not sure why the first police unit did not handle. The dispatcher said shift change when ambulance was verifying if cpd was on the way while they were waiting. Body was covered in a sheet because people were taking pictures of it. Get your facts straight 🙄

A cop came when fire dept was there but left. That body had been there for hours before that atleast they covered him. I thought he was a bum sleeping.

There should never be an ambulance WAITING on scene for a dead body, what are they going to do any further? Taking up time waiting on cops when they could be available for an ACTUAL EMERGENCY is beyond ridiculous.

This story published here is very inaccurate. 920 was onscene. Couldn’t bother getting out of the car so he just waved to CFD. The medics pronounced and documented the doa. Since 920 couldn’t be bothered they gave the info to dispatch telling them when he decides to get out of his car here’s the info he needs. Could you give him this when it’s asked for. Of course he never asked.

SCC - the original officer on scene will be taking time. The DOA was too important for him to handle. Or atleast wait for face to face relief. CFD Ambulance correctly awaited for CPD. Once CPD is on scene, it’s our scene. Obviously it’s an ME case. And that original officer didn’t relay anything to CFD. It’s going to fall on the police again

Your info is not true. No CFD units were there when the Sgt arrived. Police dispatch had to call Fire dispatch and ask them to return. They were told “ they’re not coming because they went home.” Then the Sgt asked for Fire Supervisor to respond.
