The “mansion,” as the dispatcher called it, was Elvis Presley’s home, Graceland, three miles south of the fire station. The two medics manning the ambulance recognized the address right away. 6 swung out of the station onto Elvis Presley Boulevard and headed south, siren wailing, advertising a speed that the ponderous machine had not yet achieved. “Go to the front gate and go to the front of the mansion,” the voice directed. The dispatcher indicated that someone at 3754 Elvis Presley Boulevard was having difficulty breathing. The call came to Memphis Fire Station No.
