The post adds: “SJFD immediately requested an Ambulance Task Force, two additional advanced life support fire units, and a Battalion Chief to manage the incident and provide additional medical resources. A total of 14 ambulances responded, and 14 patients were transported to local hospitals.” Authorities did not disclose the condition of those hospitalized or stated whether the incident shared a single cause. San Jose police did though tell NBC Bay Area that concertgoers were treated for “suspected alcohol intoxication and drug-related issues.” No arrests have been reported in connection with the incidents.
