Battalion Chief Michael Martinez believes the woman was walking out of El Cariso Village along Ortega Highway when he spotted her Tuesday afternoon.
Cal Fire Battalion Chief Michael Martinez drives his pickup truck toward a woman walking along Ortega Highway near flames from the Airport fire on Tuesday. Martinez and a paramedic got the woman to Lake Elsinore, where another ambulance took her to a hospital.
Martinez found a paramedic, who jumped in the back of the truck and started an IV on the woman while Martinez navigated the highway, Concialdi said. Martinez and the paramedic transferred her to a waiting ambulance and paramedics took her to a hospital. There wasn’t much conversation as the paramedic worked on the woman and Martinez kept his eyes on the road, while also coordinating units to get her to the hospital.
