Re: HEMS Scenes safety
Unfortunately we are single pilot, on scene calls we stay running for max of 10 minutes. The assumption is that the pateint is close to being ready to be loaded upon our arrival.
We post a fireman 50 feet back to ensure no goes near the tail, but for some reason that procedure has been changed moving the individual forward
so the pilot can see the fireman. Not much reaction time if any.
Our hospitals require we shut down to off load.
