22 minutes video - nearly 2 years old - 1 million views bottom line - the entire usa ems system is based on the golden hour principle - but no one knows if the principle is really true or not ============ my thoughts 1. better to prevent accidents and injuries than to respond to them 2. helicopters serve important roles for police, fire, ems, and SAR agencies - however the USA has only a handful of public safety helios that serve all of these roles - so East Oshkosh ends up with a full time medevac helo and a part time police helo and a parttime sar helo and and a part time fbi helo and a imaginary fire helo and 10,000 military helios Lets look at Massachusetts - there are 6 medevac helios that operate 24/7 - and there are 2 or 3 state police helos that operate weekdays - and there is at least 1 USCG helo on duty 24/7 - and the news media in Boston has 3 or 4 helios working weekdays - and the FBI might have 1 helo on call 24/7 - and the DEA and Border Patrol might share the FBI helo - only the USCG helos have hoists - only the MSP helos can carry a water bucket for forest fires - none of the helos can fly in blizzards or hurricanes or thunder storms - none of the helos carry rescue tools - none of the helos train with the USAR Task Force - only the USCG helo can fly in thick fog - etc etc etc - the Natl Guard might have 20 helos but you never know if they are staffed or out of state - none of the helos ever train with a structural FD anyone remember when USAF bases had firefighting Huskie helos? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
