Okay,
Last night, starting at 10:40 PM the following happened (An approximate timeline below):
22:40 EMS Unit XXX is transporting a Code 13 (DOA) to the morgue at Alamance Regional Medical Center.
22:41 EMS Unit XXX is reporting that she is being flagged down just before the 143 (NC 62) Exit. Requesting PD.
22:42 EMS Unit XXX is now requesting LifeFlight helicopter on standby, additional ALS unit, Burlington FD, and Burlington PD to respond Code 3, in reference to a subject in the back of an SUV, that has been stabbed.
22:44 EMS Unit XXX is telling C-Com, to put the LifeFlight helicopter in the air, and have Burlington Fire set up an LZ.
22:49 Second EMS unit is en route with patient to LZ.
22:52 BFD, is setting up an LZ for UNC Air-care at the Burlington Airport (KBUY), as the other location chosen was not safe.
22:53 EMS is dispatched to a SECOND stabbing, in Graham.
22:54 EMS unit responding to stabbing in Graham, is requesting a LifeFlight helicopter (Yes, that's 2, inside of 10 minutes, both for Stabbings.)
22:54 UNC Air-care is on the ground at KBUY.
22:55 Graham Fire Department, is setting up an LZ, for Duke LifeFlight.
22:57 Duke LifeFlight is reporting that it is 7 minutes out (From Graham)
22:58 UNC Air-care leaving KBUY for. UNC Chapel Hill Medical Center. 12 Minute Flight.
23:03 Duke LifeFlight is on the ground in Graham.
23:05 Duke LifeFlight leaving LZ for Duke University Medical Center. One Red Tag Patient. 12-15 minute flight.
23:15 All units reporting clear (Except PD) from both incidents.
I would like to Applaud, Alamance County C-Com, and our EMS/Fire personnel.
NOT ONCE, were there any crossed wires. (I.E. Is this our helicopter, or theirs? Ect...)
Our dispatchers handled this beautifully, considering the similarity of the incidents, and the fact that they both needed a helicopter.
