Carilion Clinic Patient Transportation Responds to Assist Local Emergency

When CCPT received the call last week that there was a potential shooter on the campus of Ferrum College, we immediately deployed resources to help with the Regional EMS response. Per Franklin County's request, 2 of our ambulances were relocated to assist with 911 coverage in the Franklin County response area, while a third ambulance was staged at Ferrum Rescue Squad. Fortunately, there were no victims that day, but it served as a good practice run for all EMS and law enforcement agencies in the area. It's always great to see the how well our regional agencies pull together in times of crisis.
See video from WSLS covering how Carilion Franklin Memorial was prepared for the potential mass casualty incident.
