The ambulance employees alleged they were wrongfully fired in 2020 for objecting to transporting coronavirus patients with inadequate protective gear.

In their court papers, Lifeline Ambulance attorneys denied any wrongdoing on the part of the company and said the plaintiffs were not entitled to damages.

Wilson maintained she and Melendez protested the lack of fitted N95 masks, but were rebuffed in their requests to be given them. Wilson explained during a meeting in May 2020 that the CDC considered unfitted masks non-protective and that it was reasonable for her and Melendez to refuse to transport a coronavirus patient if they did not have safe protection.

Melendez said he tried on one such mask and determined it was too large for his face because there was a gap under his chin in which he could fit two fingers.
