What do you get when you mix a little drinky drinky and drive a car. A visit by the local fire…read moredepartment and police department [see photos]. I have reviewed the Redondo Beach CERT and a couple of their stations but I have yet to review the RBFD until today. This past Sunday I was sitting in my home and heard a big thud. It sounded like someone dropped a pallet of wood but it wasn't. It was a drunk driver that ran into a VW Bug and flipped over. When I came outside she was trying to get out but she was unable to do so then she decided to start the car and flee...only problem the car was on its side. It only took a minute or two for the FD and police to arrive. The FD was able to get her out after securing the vehicle with cribbing then the paramedics got her on a stretcher and took her to the hospital and then most likely to jail. The fire department here is great all of them are also trained paramedics and it is nice to have help when needed even if you don't want it. Congratulations to Captain Rick Martinez for receiving the 2008 Medal of Valor Award in Sustained Superiority. He was one of 12 honored in the South Bay and the only fire personnel honored. He has been a great contributor and one of my instructors in the RBFD CERT program www.yelp.com/biz/redondo-beach-community-emergency-response-team-redondo-beach#hrid:j2Bovq1_I34Jc3zCGPvZtA/query:cer

The weed interacted with the coke giving her normal pupils. She complained or rapid heart beat after smoking a joint, my red flag regardless of her pupil appearance. He ripped me a big fat new one top notch right in front of the patient on the way to the hospital (we went to little company), then proceeded to f with the intoxicated patient on the way to the hospital cause he got off on asking her dumb questions ALS.
