Detroit EMS Assists MSP On Freeway

Another example of what our first responders are doing on the highways and byways of Detroit. You won’t read about it in the media and our first responders aren’t asking for any recognition, they just do it.

Detroit January 4 2019 – 10:00PM: Michigan State Police and Detroit EMS were notified of a person on the southbound lanes of the John C Lodge Freeway late Friday night. MSP dispatch was in telephonic contact with the subject, updating MSP Troopers on the incident.

Detroit EMS Medic 6 was dispatched to the scene with DEMS supervisor 1104. Arriving first on the scene, MSP’s Trooper 2 updated MSP dispatch with the location of the subject.

Detroit EMS supervisor 1104 spotted the man in the SB lanes of the M-10, just under the Lafayette Overpass.

DEMS Medic 6 began to slow traffic in the southbound lanes as MSP’s Air Unit Trooper 2 was overhead directing MSP Troopers to the scene.

MSP ground units soon arrived and with the help of DEMS Medic 6 were able to stop traffic and make contact with the subject. He was soon detained and conveyed by DEMS Medic 6 to Detroit Receiving Hospital’s Crisis Unit.

Detroit PD 3rd Precinct units arrived but were advised by MSP’s Trooper 2 the subject had been detained.

Below is video from MSP’s Trooper 2. Dispatch audio is from Detroit EMS, Michigan State Police and the DPD.

First Reported By Motor City 911 On Twitter

Detroit: On 12/23 at approximately 3:00AM troops from the Metro South Post were dispatched to a multi vehicle injury crash on W/B I-94 west of Van Dyke.

While heading to the crash troopers observed a car on the shoulder passing stopped traffic at a high rate of speed.

Troopers got behind the vehicle and the suspect vehicle continued to drive on the shoulder. The suspect vehicle eventually stopped once the male driver cleared the stopped traffic. Troopers made contact with the driver. They also observed open alcohol in the vehicle.

Troopers ordered the male driver to exit his vehicle. Troopers attempted to place him under arrest when the driver broke away from the trooper and ran across the freeway through stopped traffic. Troopers tackled the suspect and arrested him without further incident.

The suspect was not injured and was lodged at the Detroit Detention Center. The arresting troopers ankle was severely sprained or broken during the arrest. He was transported from the scene by DFD EMS to a local hospital.

Detroit’s West Side – December 17 2018 – 8:05PM: A 1 year old child is in the hospital this evening after possibly overdosing on opioids. The child was conveyed from the 9600 block of Coyle to Sinai-Grace Hospital by Detroit EMS in critical condition. 

At 8:05 PM on Monday, Detroit EMS dispatched DEMS Medic 26 to the 9600 block of Coyle on reports a 1 year old child was having difficulty breathing, coded as cardiac arrest. Detroit Fire’s Engine 55 was also dispatched.

At 8:08PM. both DEMS Medic 26 and Detroit Fire’s Engine 55 were cancelled when the 911 callers opted for private transport rather than Detroit EMS. Both units then went back into service.

At 8:16PM, Detroit EMS dispatched Medic 25 to the 9600 block of Coyle with once again, Detroit Fire’s Engine 55. This time the call was dispatched as a 1 year old child in possible cardiac arrest/not breathing.

At 8:23PM, DEMS Medic 25 & Detroit Fire’s Engine 55 conveyed the child to Sinai-Grace Hospital. DEMS Medic 25 notified there was no parent on board and that the child was possibly suffering from an opioid overdose. The medic on board also requested Detroit Police be notified due to drugs being involved. A Detroit EMS supervisor was also requested.

Detroit Police officers from the 2nd Precinct responded to Sinai-Grace and investigated. A unit at Sinai-Grace notified dispatch that although a large number of people were at the scene on Coyle, no one came forward as the child’s parent.

DPD’s 2nd Precinct also sent units to the 9600 block of Coyle to secure the scene. Detroit evidence technicians were also dispatched to Sinai-Grace for the collection of evidence for a case of ‘critical child abuse’.

Late Monday evening, units were being assembled to make a possible arrest in the case.

The child’s last transmitted condition was critical and in cardiac arrest.

No further information is available.

Below is audio of Detroit EMS, Detroit Fire and Detroit Police at the time of the incident. The first part of this audio is the call that was cancelled after being dispatched. The second set of transmissions from Detroit EMS & Detroit Fire is the completed call for assistance. The remaining transmissions are those of the Detroit Police Department.

Detroit Firefighters And EMS To Get Body Armor

If you’ve followed this account for any time at all, you’ll know the dangers faced by our firefighters and EMT/Paramedics. There isn’t a day that goes by where they aren’t faced with dangerous circumstances when making scenes. From irate citizens, theft and outright attacks on their personages, Detroit’s first responders are often left to fend for themselves. Detroit Police do their best to protect them, but this is Detroit, the calvary isn’t always available.

Welcome to Detroit

The article below is from the Detroit News and George Hunter.

Detroit firefighters and emergency technicians may soon be equipped with body armor.

Fire Commissioner Eric Jones said he has secured funding to outfit his employees with the protective gear, which he said is sorely needed to protect them, especially given the recent spate of police officers shot in the city.

“We just had an EMT shot in Dallas,” he said. “The way things are going here in Detroit lately, I’m surprised no (fire department employees) have been shot. But it’s the law of averages. My guys have to be safe out there.”

A Dallas paramedic Monday was shot while treating a gunshot victim. The suspect was later found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The paramedic is expected to live.

In Detroit, through the years there have been several attacks on firefighters and EMTs. In March 2016, a medical technician was injured by irate family members of a man who was having trouble breathing, police said. The man’s relatives broke the window of the rig, shattering the glass and cutting the EMT, requiring a hospital visit.

Six months earlier, a Detroit EMS paramedic and her partner were slashed with a box cutter outside a Cass Corridor homeless shelter. Michael Montgomery was charged, pleaded guilty to several crimes, including assault, and was sentenced to up to 10 years. Montgomery also was convicted in a 2005 rape and homicide, and was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to up to 80 years for those crimes.

“You can’t prevent everything, but I can take some reasonable, prudent steps to take care of these guys,” said Jones, a longtime Detroit police official. “They’re on the same scenes as the police officers, and they face the same dangers. Many times when you arrive at a (crime) scene, and you think the suspect has left, but they haven’t. So our people need to be protected.”

Jones said he submitted a budget that included a $500,000 outlay for body armor, which was approved by the City Council and Mayor Mike Duggan.

“The question now is: Do we put out bids, or use the same company as DPD?” Jones said. “I’ll probably start the bidding and contract negotiation process, and then start scheduling people to come in and get fitted.”

Jones said there are a few other cities, including Miami, which provide body armor for firefighters and EMTs.

“Chicago doesn’t issue them to their people, but it’s allowed if they want to buy them,” he said. “There are other private ambulance companies across the nation that provide them. Some other jurisdictions provide them, but not too many.”
