First thing would probably be to put on appropriate ppe...

How do you choose appropriate PPE without first evaluating the scene?

Performing the evaluation would warrant appropriate ppe. I would think a vest would be the minimum. Originally Posted by DeputyMarshal

I would hope a well equipped and well trained Rescue Company would show up to the scene in full ppe, and ready to go to work.

Our State Police have a sticker with "Hero" on the back of their cars (no joke).I am now a past chief and the views, opinions, and comments are mine and mine alone. I do not speak for any department or in any official capacity. Although, they would be smart to listen to me.

I saw the 360, and took it. Next time make it so the wrench monkey can't get it right.

I choose the 360 walk-around first
I see a 2-lane road, silver car possibly waiting at the light. Driver side curtain airbag deployed, but not the drivers steering wheel airbag. Possible 2nd vehicle made impact while turning right...if 2nd vehicle was coming from opposite direction, we should have possible front airbag also. Thus, check patient for side impact injuries. Just a guess.
