It’s not every day that you run a call of this nature!

Multiple assets from ATCEMS & AFD came together to rescue a patient that had been stuck/lost in drainage system tunnels between 24-48 hrs. It took around 1.5 hrs. to locate & assist the patient out of the system when the closet manholes did not have access to the patient. The patient was transported to Dell Seton for evaluation and treatment of minor medical issues. ATCEMS assets on-scene: Demand-5 (Captain B. Green & Medic W. Hatten), District Command-4 (Commander R. Patterson), Medic-17 (Rescue Clinical Specialists A. Azel- ton & P. Dedich, & Cadet R. Clark), CHP-11 (Community Health Medic O. Jones), & Designated Medical Officer-2 (Captain A. Maxwell). Great work everyone!
