DOAs are a sad part of fire rescue work
The Coral Gables Fire Rescue squad had two patients who were dead on arrival at local hospitals Sunday, May 16. Asked if death bothered him, one rescue team member said his experiences in Vietnam had accustomed him to dealing with fatalities. "It still hurts when it's a little kid," he said. "But other than that, you do your job and then try to think about something else." SUNDAY, MAY 16 12:48 p.m. — A. L. Lorentzson's 1970 Maverick was leaking gasoline at 1444 Medavia.
