As a first responder the number 1 rule, heck 1 thru 10, is crew safety. An incapacitated person that you respond to falls under implied consent. You need no other justification for treatment or to justify searching the patient for any thing that has the potential to compromise safety. If the responder goes down there will be no care provided.
