Fantastic work by HIFR crew

Tonight we were called to an accident where a worker fell off of a three storey house while working on the roof. Our crew of seven did a magnificent job of packaging him on a spine board while stabilizing some other injuries and getting him out to our ambulance. Another HIFR member secured the airstrip and prepared for the incoming helicopter.

When the call came in, BC Ambulance launched their helicopter from Vancouver and we met them at the airstrip and transferred him to their extremely capable hands. He was stable and alert upon handover and under better circumstances would have enjoyed his exciting helicopter ride to Victoria.
