At the risk of seeming insensitive, I will describe what happened today. My son met a friend to bike downtown. The friend had a friend along. The kids were biking at their normal pace when my son looked back to see the friend's friend had fallen way back. So, they went back to him where he was not feeling well. After talking to him about him feeling light-headed, this boy starts to faint. My son and his friend kept him from falling hard as they grabbed him.
A police car drove past before my son or the friend had a chance to call 911. By the time the police officer got out of the car, the boy was coherent. Yet, by the end of the whole thing, another police car showed up shortly before the ambulance AND a fire truck did.
My son said the officer radioed for the ambulance, which makes total sense. But WHY does a fire truck and another squad car show up?
And I am curious if the parents will be billed for this. According to my son, he thinks the boy did faint as they were holding him up, then letting him slowly fall down...which would have been ten seconds or less.
I am not one to make light of any situation, but I think the second squad and the fire truck were total overkill. And again, hope his parents are not billed.
