“B” Shift – Fall injury with air evacuation

Stations 7 and 18 responded to the end of Strawberry Farm Road in the Johnsville Community Sunday evening 10-October at 20:18. A hunter fell from a deer stand receiving a suspected spinal injury. The man was unable to move his legs and remained in the woods for several hours until someone checked on him and alerted emergency units. He was packaged at the scene and transported by Medic 18 to a nearby field off of Strawberry Farm Road. Lifenet 3 responded to the field and flew the patient to the Trauma Center at MUSC in Charleston.

Medic 18, Squad 7, Battalion 1 and Car 12 responded. Captain John Graham served as Incident Commander.
