Just after 10 this morning, Station 91 and Medic 106 responded to Renaissance Nursing home for an emergency transport. After arriving, crews found a patient in excess of 800 pounds in need of transport. Knowing equipment on scene could not handle the patient, Sussex EOC was contacted and began to search for a unit that had the transport capability needed to transport this patient. Ambulance 70 responded for the transport. Once 70 arrived, Indian River (80) were alerted for a Rescue and manpower to assist with getting patient into unit. Indian River's crew built a ramp that allowed crews to roll the patient into the unit. Once at Beebe, Lewes (82) and the County Tech Rescue Team assisted with removing the patient from the unit into Beebe. With various agencies coming together as a team, this incident was mitigated and the patient was safetly transported.
