MX 207: Yes, I'm looking forward to Spring time. Yesterday, AChf Harris and I attended a meeting with MX207, Northeast Ambulance and Waterboro FD. We discussed EMS response to MX207. It was a very productive and informative meeting. Our goal was to improve our ability to communicate, manage resources and work together to support the MX racing. We came up with some very good solutions that will be put out in an SOG soon. We're also going to hold some training regarding track operations & safety as well as how to safely remove the PPE worn by the MX riders. This is tentatively scheduled for April 9th. We've also been invited to attend Northeast's EMS ATV Operator's course on April 8th. We also discussed a landing site for the Lifeflight helo near the race track. The DOT site on Route 202 looks promising. Much more to come on this topic.
