DFIB Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Congratulation on your promotions! The only medivacs I have seen are at the picture show.
Aussieaid Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) Largest medevac scene I was involved in was a bus crash with ~28 patients, 14 criticals. There were 7 helicopters that landed at the scene (not all at the same time- I think there was 3-4 landed at one point). We flew one critical from the scene and another from a local hospital. Our company alone flew 14 of the patients either from scene or local hospitals to trauma centers and there were about 2 other helicopter companies involved as well. I can't imagine being on the ground for that kind of scene but I can say that they handled it fantastically. There was good communication among both ground and flight crews. The whole county did a great job with their response. I've actually been to a number of 2-3 aircraft scenes with all the aircraft on the ground at the same time at some points.
