Officer Down

After a quiet beginning of the evening, multiple calls virtually explode across the radio at once--and the most alarming code heard is for "Officer Shot." The overwhelming response to that call leaves EMT's Titus and Dan to endure an agonizing wait for police backup at the scene of a stabbing at a birthday party. Meanwhile, fire fighters respond to the scene of a burning car.
