Good points about the outside scene of her on the gurney and how those people around her are dressed
I saved that vid offline also.
Cherry,
Your thoughts on wombatsrule’s observation below:
“...As an aside, who are the group of 3 or 4 ppl following behind gurney and what is that guy doing in the White medical smock doing???
Hat on backwards, looks like he is 20 something??, looking down all the time and when he gets to the crowd see him scurry up to the right side of gurney but he is running in a fully crouched position, like he did not want to be seen out on his own, or he was Not in place for the cameras??,
His tall mate seemed to be carrying two trauma bags but does he dress like a Med EMS. and since when do we see EMS all looking like they are EMS But only one has any back decals on, None have Hi Vis tape except the last person pushing gurney that has Fire Department trousers, viz tap at leg bottoms.
So after they all wander past camera we have seen only two DCFD jackets, the rest in non de-script Jackets of coverings , Non that are uniform in nature, when did you last see an EMS crew cmoe out that was Not Hi-Vis taped and clearly showing EMS And the company tags. ...”

My observations on this video...
First is a police officer clearing the way. Patch looks like United States Capitol Police https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Capitol_Police
At 0:01 to 0:03 I see the patient being wheeled out, with a male FF or paramedic using a bag valve mask. Note at 0:02-0:03 you can see that the patient is intubated (i.e., a tube put down their throat to directly access the lungs). However, it does not look to me like the tube is secured (google “Securing Endotracheal Tube”) and can therefore slip or fall out. Usually someone like this would also have a “c-collar” (plastic or foam neck collar) applied to keep their head from flopping around. She is on a (yellow) backboard.
Note that the FF with the BVM has what appears to be a DCFD patch on his left shoulder, is wearing what appears to be a uniform foul weather coat (similar to what the FF on the left is wearing in this pic: https://www.facebook.com/DCFireAndEMS/photos/a.761400303903505/3832178263492345/?type=3&theater). He (and all of the others near the stretcher appear to be carrying the same yellow/green radios, with the mics up on their lapel or the radios on a strap. He is wearing a DCFD baseball hat with sunglasses on the bill.
The FF doing CPR looks to be wearing a DCFD sweatshirt, note patch on left shoulder and what appears to be a name tape (lettering in white) next to the radio mic on a shoulder strap. He also is wearing a splash face shield and surgical mask as well as a watch cap.
The woman FF or paramedic pushing the right side of the stretcher has a radio on a strap (0:01) and looks to be wearing a sweater with a DCFD patch on the left shoulder (visible at 0:04-0:05). She is wearing what looks like a scarf and head wrap. The reason that I think that both she and the first individual are paramedics is because they appear to be wearing white shirts under their coats/outerwear, and both are not wearing surgical-type masks like the others.
The FF pushing the stretcher looks to be wearing a DCFD sweatshirt (”DCFD” on the back) and firefighting bunker pants (yellow stripe on cuffs). He also appears to be wearing a splash shield and surgical-type mask.
Next up are two FF, one in a white trauma gown with his cap on backwards, the other in a blue gown, white booties and a watch cap carrying EMS bags. Both are wearing surgical-type masks.
The last one appears to be a Chief or leadership position. He is visible in the background at 0:00-0:01 with just a face mask on. You can see his back at 0:08 with a white collar, dark jacket with “DCFD” on it, and a yellow-green radio on a strap. No headgear seen.
About the uniformity of their attire... there could be any number of reasons why they have different gear on. This group doesn’t have the same stuff on. https://www.facebook.com/DCFireAndEMS/photos/a.761400303903505/3829804053729766/?type=3&theater
My guess? 4 firefighters on the initial response (hence the gowns, masks, and face shields), 2 paramedics (ambulance), 1 chief for command & control.
Just my 2 cents.
