San Bernardino County - Air Ambulance - Means Dry Lake - 10-16-10

On Saturday, October 16th, the San Bernardino County Fire Department responded to a medical call on the north end of Means Dry Lake. BE19, UT43, MA42R and Morongo Basin Ambulance were dispatched. Shortly after going enroute we were advised that MBA was requesting an air ambulance due to the information we had been given at the time of dispatch. Mercy Air 2 from Victorville was launched with a 30 minute ETA. BE19 was the first to arrive and found a patient with a severe hand injury. Once MA42R arrived, patient care was transferred to them so BE19 could wet down the LZ for Mercy. Once Mercy landed the patient was loaded and flown to an area trauma center.
