The man making that statement had no authority to make it.
Police were calling for ambulances, and had been since 9:57 a.m.
It is up to police to determine when ambulances enter.
The man making that statement also had no direct communication with those ambulances; he couldn't call them up.
There was no Incident Command, no incident commander, no radio interoperability, and no one keeping the roads clear.
Police began calling for ambulances at 9:57 a.m. None came.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 58145289 Because it was not clear yet. the person obviously had authority, since only the three medics came in not the ambulances. No, Fire/EMS does not have authority to decide when ambulances proceed to a scene. That's the job of police, and police were doing that job. Yet, no ambulances came. If someone at the school radios in, that the school is not yet clear, then no ambulances will be coming in. That's why only the three medics came in with Cario If the scene hadn't been safe, those medics would not have been brought in. It's moot--they weren't even walking to the school until after 10:35 a.m., much less inside yet. They weren't told to walk, by the way; those three medics were supposed to travel down Dickenson and stage their ambulances in front of the school.
