Kevin and Neal go on ambulance run with Ann

Saturday afternoon we went to Panaca to watch the volleyball games. Into the 3rd game Ann's pager goes off for a call down Rainbow canyon. We thought that others would be answering the call but a few minutes later the pager goes off again. So we headed south. Kevin drove about 90 miles an hour and when we got to Caliente no one was at the ambulance barn. After a few phone calls we that Kevin and Neal would go on the ambulance with Ann.
It took 35 minutes to get the 18 miles to a one car off the road and on fire. The fire department was there with 1 EMT, and two more came after the ambulance. There were 3 men in a truck they hit a rock on the side of the narrow road and it knocked them off the road into a tree. They were all wearing seat belts but the car caught on fire. The driver helped get the other two out. The one in the back seat was badly hurt. The drive and one passenger got up the 50 foot embankment.
One of our PA's and an RN were farther down the canyon scouting out a place to rock climb when they saw the smoke.
The fire department and those two were down by the creek helping with the men when we arrived. They were requesting supplies so Kevin and Neal when down with the stuff. Ann stayed up top and helped one of the other men and handle things there.
After a while Kevin helped them bring the man up the hill and Neal was loaded with the equipment.
Kevin rode up front in the ambulance while Neal and Ann were in the back with 2 patients. Kevin kept times and mileage record and Neal got some learning experience. It took about 45 minutes to get back to the hospital. One man was flighted out on helicopter, one(the driver) was taken to Pioche to jail and one was released later.
It was a good experience for Neal and Kevin to see what Ann does, to see how she handles the ambulance.
