County EMS review questions on response time at Pelion crash
Merriman notes the on scene time of about 18 minutes nearly doubles the average while Pelion Airport sits 13 miles away and driving normally takes 20 to 25 minutes. He records 22 minutes from departure to arrival and awaits the ambulance driver’s report. He supports the shift manager’s prudent decision per Health and Environmental Control protocol.
