Pittsburgh Medic 2 "The Deuce"

A tribute to Medic 2’s past and present thanks to the hard work of two Medic 2 crew members!

#Antibiotics are life-saving drugs but you DO NOT need antibiotics for illness caused by a virus, like: colds flu most coughs or bronchitis most so...re throats runny nose most ear aches Ask your doctor for symptom relief tips instead of antibiotics! See more

An unusual request at best, but as always, we pulled through! Great job, everyone!

Pittsburgh's River Rescue Unit was formed in March 1986 by combining the Bureau of Emergency Medical Services' SCUBA Search & Rescue Team with those of the Bure...au of Police River Patrol. The unit is stationed along the Allegheny River near PNC Park. The Paramedics who staff the River Rescue Units are certified as Public Safety Divers and responsible for surface and subsurface water rescue. They administer emergency medical care to victims until transferred to the care of a land-based Medic Unit for additional treatment and transport. The Police Officers assigned to River Rescue are responsible for piloting the various water rescue craft as well as for enforcing the regulations of the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Code. The primary mission of the River Rescue Unit is to prevent and to respond to waterborne emergencies in the waterways in and around the City of Pittsburgh. The Unit is also an integral part of the waterways community by providing assistance to the largest number of registered recreational boats in Pennsylvania and providing port security for the second largest inland port in the United States.

The car started flipping, and I just held on for dear life. An off-duty police officer was on his way to work when he crashed over a hillside off of the Parkway West. https://wpxi.tv/34rsFXh
