  1. Take the call in dispatch and say so on the radio.
  2. Drive there with lights and sirens. Drive like the ambulance costs money, because it does (§6.1). Stay on the roads.
  3. Before you get out, look at the scene. If there is shooting, or people with weapons out, stop out of sight and tell dispatch you are staging.
  4. Go in when the shooting has stopped or police tell you the scene is safe.
  5. Find the patient who is closest to dying and start there (EMS-1.2).
  6. Treat the patient. Chapter 7 has the steps.
  7. Decide: discharge at the scene, or transport to the hospital. Chapter 8 has the steps.
  8. Tell dispatch you are clear.

Staging: wait out of sight until police say the scene is safe.

EMS-6.1 Do not walk into a firefight.

Stage until the scene is safe. A medic who goes down helps nobody.

EMS-6.2 No revives in an active fight.

Do not revive anyone while the people who downed them are still fighting. A patient you revive is out of that fight. Tell them so before you revive them.

EMS-6.3 If you are attacked, leave.

Withdraw, tell dispatch, and report it in a ticket afterwards with your clip (§5.3, §8.2). Do not fight back and do not settle it in the scene.
