A Clay County Fire Rescue employee was suspended and handed a “last chance agreement” two weeks after an Action News Jax Investigation.
In November, Action News Jax uncovered the county’s most senior emergency dispatcher, Ricky McCall, was accused of failing to provide CPR instructions during a 911 call for a patient.
After five days’ suspension, McCall is now back at work.
It took Action News Jax seven emails over nearly two months to get the letter detailing the disciplinary decision and the 911 call from Clay County.
“My husband’s in his lounge chair and I can’t wake him up,” said the 911 caller.
A September memo on an internal investigation into McCall written by Deputy Fire Chief D.E. Motes said McCall “withheld providing CPR instructions where they were clearly appropriate.”
“Is he breathing?” McCall asked the 911 caller.
“I can’t tell. I don’t know,” said the caller.
“OK, can you put your hand on his chest and tell me if it’s rising and falling?” said McCall.
“It doesn’t feel like it,” said the caller.
