I think those first two fire personnel who showed up may have been firemen who arrived in a fire truck, probably to check vitals and stop bleeding. That happens when the nearest ambulance is tied up on another run. It was nearly twenty minutes later until an ambulance showed up with a gurney and carted him off.
Thank you. I read somewhere that a couple of fire personnel have been placed on leave pending investigation. I think you may be right those two with deltoid patches on their sleeves, no gun belts, and emergency bags are fire personnel. They need to be terminated and criminally charged for doing NOTHING. They are an abomination of incompetence. Go to DM and see the braindead bleeding Nichols with 1000-yard stare propped against the squad car. The two fire did not check ABC, vitals, pupils, C-collar, reflexes, start an IV line, check for fractures...disgusting.
This is what they saw! DM:
