Helicopter-ambulance alights in South Park
By BRENT ANDERSON
Staff Writer
An Army helicopter-ambulance landed at 6p last night in South Park, but it wasn't an emergency.
If it had been, the emergency medical team could have left its headquarters in Fort Riley, picked up an emergency patient and transported the patient to the University of Kansas Medical Center in about an hour.
Capt. Dave Meyers, U.S. Army, told the Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) class, which met the helicopter in the park, that a helicopter-ambulance and crew were ready 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to provide medical care for those within a radius range of Fort Billy.
Fort Riley is 15 miles southwest of Manhattan, Kan.
When the helicopter landed in South Park, south of the Douglas County Courthouse, people from all directions surrounded the craft.
"We were afraid we had interrupted an eball game. Meyers said, "an if we did it we would be out."
He was assured by Yngue Dahl, director of the class, which is being sponsored by the Douglas County Ambulance Service, that the students will have a range of even the longest softball slugger.
Meyers told members of the EMT class, and the many bystanders who had gathered around the craft, that in the event of a medical emergency, his crew could be in the copter within 20 seconds of the time they were summoned.
A backup emergency helicopter-ambulance crew could be ready to assist at another medical emergency within 20 minutes. he said.
Meyers explained the several functions of the helicopter. He said it could transport six patients at a time, but was usually up to handle three patients.
The helicopter, a military version of the Bell 205 a jet helicopter, can develop 1,400 horsepower, but the engine weighs only 540 pounds, Meyers said.
"I apologize for the appearance of the thing," Meyers said, referring to the helicopter, "but we have a shiny one back at Fort Riley."

"The services we offer are free," Meyers said. "We merely augment existing ambulance services. We're not out to put anybody out of business."
Ted McFarlane, manager of the Douglas County Ambulance Service, said the EMT class started in July. Ambulance drivers, technicians were in the class, he said.
