@ 15:05hrs Shepherds along with Engine 4 were alerted to a medical local around the 200 block of Rinehardt Rd. ECOM alerted units that the subject had fallen and due to information they were receiving they had auto-launched Med Center Air to the scene. Engine 4 arrived on location first with Shepherds closely behind (responded from 77 & 150). Engine 4 initiated pt contact and radioed in severe blood loss with head trauma. Shepherds Engine 1 diverted from the scene and went to the corner of Rinehardt for preparation for CMC with Capt 550 (J.Craver) assuming LZ supervisor. Once CMC arrived pt care was transferred, packaging and loading took place and all units were assignment complete and back in service within the hour.

**Note: This was the second medical local off of Rinehardt which resulted in CMC landing at the same location.
