    When would you request a supervisor to a scene?

    So, my perspective… I’m a chief, with a fly car. I go to the call when the crew needs (and requests) help with a patient, family, facility or law enforcement. I go when they request ALS and I am closer than another medic. I go when it sounds like they may need an extra pair of hands. Either...

    This is the best answer you’re gonna get… Transport them. They call, you haul. That’s all.
