Jill thought bubble: Why are there firefighters here? There’s not a fire! Why is there no ambulance?
Jill speech bubble: Where’s the ambulance? The lady on the phone said they were on their way!
WM thought bubble: Her Auntie does not look good.
WM speech Bubble: Hi Jill, I’m Steve, the Watch Manager. We were asked to come as we were the closest responders in the area. The paramedics are on their way. Please take a seat and tell me what you can.
Jill thought bubble: Auntie Rose looked so grey! What if I did something wrong? I wish I’d got here earlier.
Jill speech bubble: Did I do everything right? Will she be ok? I need to phone my Mum and let her know what’s happened.
Meanwhile in the kitchen:
Fire crew thought Bubble: I think she may have been collapsed for a while. Looks like she has other health issues. Should we be continuing CPR?
Fire crew speech Bubble: The defib says non-shockable but we’ll have to keep going with the CPR until paramedics advise us.
