Maryland State Police Aviation Command In FY 2025, the Maryland State Police Aviation Command (MSPAC) provided care to 2,050 patients. Of these patients, 2,027 (99%) were prehospital at the request of local EMS and 23 (1%) were transported between hospitals to a higher level of care. This year, MSPAC responded to 747 motor vehicle crashes, 537 falls, 69 gunshot wounds, 66 pedestrian injuries, 55 assaults, 49 burns, 40 stabbings, 18 industrial injuries, and 13 drownings. MSPAC uses the AgustaWestland 139 (AW-139) model of air craft as an excellent platform for multiple missions. Equipped with the most current safety technology as recommended by the National Transportation Safety Board, the AW-139 aircraft are powerful enough to carry two patients and two EMS clinicians despite the challenging heat and humidity of the summer months. The acquisition of an FAA-certified Flight Training Device has allowed significant hours of pilot training to be conducted under simulated conditions, not only saving aircraft flight hours but also allowing the simulation of in-flight emergencies not able to be performed in an actual flying aircraft. iirc they staff 7 helos 24/7 - each helo has a hoist also - staff is 1 pilot and 1 medic there are a couple of private helos in maryland also - 1 at hagerstown and 1 at baltimore - plus a bunch nearby in md or va or pa or wv or de -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
