Mansfield Ambulance was once again deployed by FEMA for hurricane
Ike. MAS crews were deployed on Tuesday - September 9, 2008 to San
Antonio, Texas in anticipation of widespread coastal evacuations for
hurricane Ike. Four MAS ALS crews arrived at Kelly Air Force Base along
with hundreds of other ambulances awaiting orders. Those orders took MAS
to hospitals along Ike's ground-zero at Galveston where hospital
patients were evacuated to inland facilities in Austin, Texas. After
completing their evacuation trips, three units were located at the
staging area at Kelly AFB and one crew rode the storm out at the
Alexandria, LA base after evacuating a ptient to Shreveport, LA.
Following
Ike's impact the crew have been relocated to Houston. Most Houston area
hospitals were without power following Ike's impact and as of Sunday
they were beginning to evacuate patients to San Antonio.
Five new
MAS personnel were deployed for hurricane Ike including Chris
Mullennex, Laurie Cosner, Dan Faust, Megan Blair and Doug Green. They
join Gustav personnel Chris Kennedy, Joe Hoffer and Eric Dzugan. The
crews expect to be deployed in the region for at least two weeks. |
