This eight-minute RKO Pathe short from the '50s is a demonstration of what the emergency ambulance doctors go through on a daily basis, as soon as a call comes in that requires an immediate response.
The first example shown involves an apartment fire with firemen on the scene breaking windows to enter. Some of them require medical assistance at the scene and are soon put into ambulances and on their way to the hospital.
A little girl who has inhaled too much smoke is another victim, but she does make a full recovery in the hospital.
The final scene involves a woman in pain at a convenience store, whom it turns out is about to deliver a baby. She and the little one are bundled off to the hospital by the emergency ambulance crew.
All is told in a swift eight minutes before the short subject ends.
