[Scan-DC] Montgomery County on Blue Alert

[along at comcast.net]

Right, that’s why I asked.  It was concerning, especially since there were no apparent weather incidents, MCI’s or anything else out of the ordinary besides having to dispatch an ambulance from station 20 for a cardiac arrest to Georgia/Bel Pre area during late afternoon rush hour just after the Blue Alert went out.

We call that Level ZERO if it's the EMS term. Meaning - NO AMBULANCES AVAILABLE.

 

People would be surprised how frequently it happens everywhere...
