That is correct. The following were on scene.
Franklindale Memorial EMS North Towanda Monroeton Canton Western EMS State Police PennDot
and from what I gather a coroner for the class 5, which again form what I gather did not start that way but became that way after first arriving units on scene.
This just minutes after…………..
15 & 25 had a motorcycle accident on Route 220 near DuPont that included Pediatric Patients, Stat 15 told to stand down, however they have flown to Memorial after this for that patient.

I would also like to thank everyone that was involved. That was I think the toughest call I've ever been on, and I think that everyone acted with extreme professionalism.

Gonna be tough on myself about that call, not to mention ALL calls. The best professional is his/her own worst critic. There is ALWAYS room for improvement, and I am no exception to that rule. I suppose that is why I walk around for days after a call and pick it apart in my head. In effect asking myself "What could I have done differently to improve response time or ease of response or relief for returning responders?" I am rather used to being expected to be the one to set the example for others to follow. Department 22 is a great station to work with. They are professionals in the truest sense of the word. Their unit integrity and esprit de corps is top notch, and they are more than a team, they're a big family, and their response to this perticular call was no different. I'm proud to serve with such a great bunch of people.
