Emergency medical care in an elevator shaft with FDNY Lieutenant Shlomo Winkler and Paramedic Kira Watkins
Two people plummeted five stories down an elevator shaft at the Bronx Terminal Market. Lieutenant Shlomo Winkler, then a Rescue Paramedic, and Paramedic Watkins, together with numerous on-scene units, worked to treat and free the patient trapped beneath the elevator car in a December 2022 operation. Winkler and Watkins discuss their processes, challenges faced, and teamwork needed at this incident. For their professionalism and commitment to providing quality care, the two were awarded the Christopher J. Prescott Medal at FDNY Medal Day this past June. Captain Randy Li hosts.
