Ambulance Meets Flight For Sick Passenger
Emergency services attended the LF Wade International Airport this afternoon [Jan 2] shortly after 1.30pm to meet an arriving Delta flight.
Delta flight #656 arrived from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta at its regularly scheduled time with what we understand was a sick passenger.
The pilot alerted airport officials before landing and the fire service and an ambulance both attended the scene. The sick passenger was transferred to the awaiting ambulance and was transported to King Edward Memorial Hospital for treatment.

Unfortunately Bermudians can’t call ahead for an ambulance, is this why is it that no matter where you see an accident the police and fire are on scene and long after you pass the scene eventually you’ll see an ambulance going to the accident and I can’t help thinking I hope the person wasn’t hurt bad and has to lay on the road for 25 minutes or so waiting on KEMH showing up, why not give Fire Rescue an ambulance and let them take the victim to the hospital saving a LOT of time and maybe a life, I do remember they used to have one and that was when the ONLY did fire
Is this all about KEMH not wanting to give up business, I’m sure the person laying on the road with the bone coming through their leg or that has a head injury would benefit from reaching medical care 20 or 25 minutes or less earlier.
It is about a need for more volunteer EMS personnel.. join de ranks!!
@ Revel: KEMH staff are not volunteer, how would having more volunteers decrease the time it takes for the KEMH ambulance staff to arrive?
