Open Airways: Stories from the back of the ambulance
A Dark Night in Florida
Tony Hartman
It was one of those nights that literally there was no light out there, and we found the scene just by the flashing lights. When we landed, they pointed us to the ambulance that had the patient. He had rolled his Honda CRX, and it had caught fire. He was trapped underneath the car as it was burning.” In this episode, Tony Hartman talks to Charlie Soucheray about an exceptionally memorable call.
