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.
Many many thankQs !!!!
If I may add just a hint of info, this was sent to stylin in pm but it digs a bit deeper.
btw at 1080p and on a Monitor level screen in the seconds that we see this video at 0.25 speed, here is what we have found
Dear Stylin19a
You brought up a very clear point on the “reported and interviewed person” saying he was there and was shot from someone 20 feet away.
Looking at the video again so I am Not mistaken, but there was a seriously clear vid of the perp in the doorway to the left with pistol aimed , he re-sites twice and the third time he shoots, he was about 5 feet from her, Not 20 feet. So the info in any “witness” statement to a news crew to a 20 foot shot was BS and misleading information. In the multi spliced video at the start it is as clear as day who it was and how close he was.
And a final note on the triage crew, even at 1080p I could make out badges, but Not definition on those patches, not definition as close to saying yes they are accurate renditions of the badge.
Also, there is not a crew in this world that I have seen and been involved with that will transport an individual on a gurney without strapping them on.
The reason for a board is that you Never lift a patient up, you roll them on a side, slide in board then roll them back then the crew lifts a stable body, Not just grab legs and arms etc, you get what I mean.
Also as for the African american lady who is closest to the cameras. Try doing medical triage with your fake rope hair hanging down into the patients face or fluids, EMT and FD department heads will NOT allow any hanging rope or hair, that is just so against rules of hygiene and safety (try strapping up a crack head on a bender with your hair hanging down in front of them, Bald and held hostage in 10 seconds or less)
Now to our little lad at the back, if you slowly step the vid at 0.25 you can see he does a Serious duck down, he did not trip over anything, he ducked then his big mate got the same idea, btw, since when do ppl that have smocks on not tie them correctly.
These people did Not know how to put it on nor tie it up correctly, if you look at the lengths it is made to wrap the cording around the waist and tie at the front. Note little mans cord hanging free, Note the big guys tied at the back “sorta” and enough dangling down to hit below his knees and Booties, please, that was just sooo lame.
Now back to the Flashes and badges. We dug, it was not hard, since when do the DCFB & EMS badges look like those, in any way shape or form of color. Note that the first guy seems to look like a capital policeman, the guy in front of the gurney has one type of badge but from what we are told is wearing a DCFB ball cap, you cannot tell the real letters at 1080p, on his shoulder what do you see, a DCFB or a DCFB&EMT badge NOPE!!!!!
Please note that the two shoulder badges on the crew do NOT MATCH AT ALL AND THEY ARE NOT DCFB in any way shape or colorization.
Sorry for this short note hehehe My Eldest started this off and DH and I pitched in the get it done or it would have been a war and peace epic.
oh, That is the latest and greatest patch for shoulder,
2nd oh I am YET to find any DCFB RED initial ball caps OR Jackets online, they are all hi-vis or white, but then again, we may have missed something.
Blessings to You and Yours
The 6-8 first responders you identified seem to have been “johnny on the spot”
I wonder how far away was their duty station from the death scene?
