Spirit Emergency Medical Services weekly log

Dec. 10-16

According to Brian K. Hathaway, Spirit EMS president/CEO, Spirit EMS was called to four emergency medical dispatches in Shelby County. That’s two fewer calls than the week prior.

All of the calls were in the Houston EMS district which includes Loramie and Washington Townships including the village of Lockington, excluding the village of Russia.

All four patients were transported from the scene. Spirit EMS was assisted by CareFlight at two scenes for the week involving trauma patients. One was for a patient who suffered a fall at a construction site and the other was for reported burns. Russia Fire first responders and Shelby County deputies assisted at the scene of the fall, while Houston firefighters helped set up a landing zone for the patient who suffered burns. Both patients were flown to the Level 1 trauma center at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton. The two other patients transported for the week were taken by Spirit EMS to Wilson Health in Sidney and Upper Valley Medical Center in Troy.

Spirit EMS responded to 100% of its dispatched calls this week.
