Notes / caveats

• Transcript contains transcription errors and some garbled unit IDs/times; listed times and unit IDs are taken from the best‑match items in the transcript (approximate where unclear).
• Where outcomes were not explicitly recorded in the transcript (e.g., final patient disposition for some crashes/illnesses), the report states only what was confirmed on the radio (on‑scene condition, initial treatment, or DOA when declared).
