Send Medic 333 to Reed Street for basic life support medical call. If you're ready, how many units are available? Medic 1. I just said Medics 3 for a call at 33 Reed. Did you want to handle or have them handle it? We'll take that. Department requested for a 50-year-old male, possibly intoxicated. Medics for you can recall medical unusual household handling 013. Tension, Medics 3, 300 block Court Street, report trauma, 0-016. Unit 3 respond. To Medics 3, police are aware. They're requesting you for a female who fell off her bicycle. Can you check the location? We just drove past Fairwalk and did see her. Are you going to Penn Street or Court Street? I was dispatching you to Penn Street when the Court Street call came in, which is your call. So I diverted you to the Court Street call. I just had to confirm with one of the other dispatchers who was speaking with police. They're actually not on location — that's the correction. They are requesting you for the female who fell off her bike. Okay.
