Any call, every call..the first priority is scene saftey! Get any and all untrained individuals out of the way. Your own safety is paramount, second is that of your partner, and third is the patient. We already have one injured, we don't want more. Then assess the scene and evaluate the requirements to call for additional aid. That includes the possiblity of a Haz-Mat situation. Do not try to do anything by yourself without adequate equipment and trained personnel. Call for additional aid immediately. Get ALS (Advanced Life Support) and Haz-Mat (if indicated) in route. We would rather be called and have to turn around and go home, than to be called too late and have more victims/hazards to deal with and wish we had been there sooner. Assess the patient, ABC. Airway, Breathing, Circulation..in that order...Cirvical/Spine imobilizational, clear airway, apply oxygen. It's risk vs. benefit. If there is no immediate life threatening situation that demands immediate extrication (fire, collapse,etc.), leave the victim RIGHT THERE until trained personel arrive with proper training and equipment...if the victim is alive, you can do more damage by moving him. Even as trained firefighters and EMT's, our priority is scene safety, stabilize the patient, extricate, package, and transport...in that order. We joke a little about how to judge the level of contamination in a haz-mat situation by the number of "blue canaries" (cops) that have managed to involve themselves by going in without the proper training and equipment. I have 120 hours of training to be an EMT-B(as in Basic)! And another 30 hours per year just to keep my certification up, and the more I learn, I realize the less I know! As a trained individual, I must stop and render aid, without training, all anyone can safely do is call for help!
