Life on the line: 911 breakdowns at LAFD

LAFD chief’s report on ambulance plan

This re­port by LAFD Chief Bri­an Cum­mings was in­ten­ded to quell cri­ti­cism of his plan to re­as­sign 22 fire­fight­ers per shift from en­gines to am­bu­lances, a move he said was ne­ces­sary to ad­dress a grow­ing load of 911 calls for med­ic­al help.
