The man making that transmission had no authority to override the state police order for ambulances at 10 a.m.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 58145289 How do you know? If it were not safe yet and based on the call logs, it was not. then the ambulances could not be brought to the school. That is why Cario was sent out to escort the medics into the school "Paramedic and Director of Danbury Hospital EMS Matthew Cassavechia, tactical Paramedic and Danbury EMS supervisor John Reed, and Paramedic and Assistant Fire Chief Bernie Meehan were the three triage officers. The legal presumptions of death were made by this team, using the SMART Triage System protocols. Cassavechia operated as the senior medical person on scene and maintained phone contact with Danbury Hospital Medical Control Physician Dr. Pat Broderick, under whose medical authority the paramedics operated." It is not up to fire/EMS to determine scene safety; it is up to law enforcement. Law enforcement--both local and state--was requesting ambulances directly to the front of the school and had been since 9:57 a.m.The fact that Cario was sent out to personally escort the medics in proves the school was not safe for ambulances to be brought it. Cario didn't escort the medics to the scene. The medics walked to the scene of their own accord after Newtown Fire/EMS told them to walk down.
