How’d I miss this party??? Wow...this early Feb thread was an interesting read in light of the last 4-6 weeks.
I was going write that it did remind me of Ebola. We didn’t have the training or the equipment at that time, and the company wasn’t providing either. We did let the leadership know that they could contact Phoenix Aviation down in Cartersville. That was the place with the ex-Danish AF Gulfstream IIIs, I believe the only ones in the country at the time, that were configured (negative pressure?) to safely carry such patients.
As for the role of FW EMS, there’s a reason RW EMS (aka HAA) has it’s own section in 14 CFR 135. FW EMS is nothing more than on-demand. No capes.
