Mr. HUBERT. Tell us what happened about this particular call?
Mr. PRIDDY. Well, I got the call, and I stamped it, and then I was
waiting.
Mr. HUBERT. Got the call from whom?
Mr. PRIDDY. From the police department.
Mr. HUBERT. What did you do when you got it?
Mr. PRIDDY. Well, I checked my receipts, the other receipts to see who
was clear, see, we have two ambulances there and it turned out that----
Mr. HUBERT. Go ahead.
Mr. PRIDDY. That the ambulance that I dispatched, I don’t remember the
name of it--the number, but the one that I dispatched was coming back
from veterans hospital, and the--I knew that they were in--thoroughly
close to downtown, because I just had had a call from them. They called
when they got to the hospital and they were cleared, so, when the
police department called I told them that the--there was an ambulance
on the air and they dispatched it by----
Mr. HUBERT. Did you tell them that they could reach that ambulance by
putting the call?
Mr. PRIDDY. Yes, sir; they just, you know--what number was that?
Mr. HUBERT. Call? You mean the car number?
Mr. PRIDDY. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. 605.
Mr. PRIDDY. 605.
Mr. HUBERT. That appears on 5125, and I should ask you, really, what
that means?
Mr. PRIDDY. Yes, sir; 605.
Mr. HUBERT. You told them to call car 605 because it was on the air,
and that means he could be reached by calling him. Did you tell them
that was the closest one you could find?
