Aiken County EMS changes policy aids urgent helicopter calls
After a July tragedy, Aiken County EMS revised rules to allow first responders to call in rescue helicopters without EMS shift manager approval. The change helped save 66 year old Kenneth Shull after an industrial accident near Wagener, with multiple agencies coordinating to airlift him to Palmetto Health Richland in time. The incident followed public scrutiny over the earlier death of 2 year old Ryan Eagerton and was praised by local officials and volunteer firefighters who supported the policy shift.
