Captured here is the scene of a medical emergency call that started off with a man lying on the sidewalk and screaming erratically, before passing pedestrians called 911 and asked Vancouver firefighters from the nearby Fire Hall No. 2 for assistance. When fire medics approached the man was seen climbing the side of a construction waste container and diving in head first! Due to the sensitive nature of the scene these events were not filmed. Paramedics from the BC Ambulance Service soon showed up to assist firefighters and it appeared that the patient then became violent towards the emergency services. Several units of the Vancouver Police Department showed up within minutes to quickly assist firefighters and restrain the allegedly violent patient inside an ambulance. Firefighters had to disinfect their uniforms and equipment thoroughly after clearing from the encounter. Engine 2 of Vancouver Fire & Rescue is also seen responding and to an unrelated emergency while police and paramedics were still working on the patient. VPD later escorted the ambulance and patient to St. Paul's hospital for treatment.
