The fire lieutenant wishes his crew had been told prior to leaving the station that the man was right at the foot of the garage. "We would have just walked out the door and looked." (TampaBay.com) :eek:
 
This sounds fishy. If they were dispatched to their own place wouldn't the first thing you do would be to go outside. Why would you need to get in the truck in the first place?
 
This doesn't add up. There is alot of vague information in this article. I wonder exactly what location they were dispatched to? The article says "The callers to 911 Thursday afternoon said there was a man bleeding from the face near the fire station." You don't just call 911 and say there is an emergency "near" a location. You would have to give them an address, and surely if they were dispatched to their own address they wouldn't have gotten into a truck. Perhaps they were dispatched to an address that was nearby, but far enough that they needed the truck. And maybe the victim decided rather than waiting for help he would to try to stumble and crawl down to the fire station. So he stumbles his way down there and collapses in front of the garage door, the fireman jump in the truck, open the doors, and pull out unable to see anyone or anything on the ground due to the size of the truck. Just a theory....
