At the time of prior and the months after Gary Brown was the Woodward County Disaster Director. Gary Brown had put together one of the most comprehensive Inter-Agency Disaster Protocol system in the United States. Despite enduring the criticism of many agencies including fire services personnel who claimed “He’s on a power trip.”
In addition to the professional criticism his disaster drills were mocked by local media.
Then in July 1989 United Flight 232 a DC 10 carrying “296 soles on board,” from Denver to Chicago suffered catastrophic system failure loosing all three hydraulic systems the decision was made by Captain Al Haynes along with Federal air Traffic controllers to land at the Sioux Gateway Airport.
Sioux air traffic controllers, FAA employees notified the Woodward County Disaster office of Flight 232’s situation. Gary Brown activated the tri-state emergency disaster protocol system as units began to respond they were notified to stage at the airport.
As EMS, Fire, Mutual Aid agencies and Guardsmen staged at airport’s gate. Both local and State Police staged throughout the area to handle traffic if necessary. With the plan activated and unites were on scene and committed if needed. As Brown monitored traffic between the tower and Flight 232. As the large and fully loaded passenger plane was visible, all indications were that Flight 232 was going to successfully make a safe emergency landing. That was not to be as the plane touched down its wing dipped causing the plane to cartwheel down the runway in a ball of flames.
As the plane tumbled down the runway the Airports Crash Fire Rescue Fire rolled out to fight the fire. Brown moved out to the runway it became evident following the crash that passengers had survived. A triage area was opened up immediately with precision patients were triaged rapidly as Fire crews quickly fought the fire made of jet fuel and burning fuselage. Victims were transported by Helicopter, Ambulance and buses for those with minor to no injuries. 184 passengers were rescued and evacuated to area hospitals, 112 passengers perished. Had it not been for the rapid mobilization of resources the number of passengers killed would have indeed been much higher.
The rescue response in Sioux City received international attention and is regarded today as one of the most outstanding and cooperative responses in the history of U.S. Airline crashes. Gary Brown would be and is needed to head up the need for EMS and Paramedic Representation in a newly formed office for Homeland Security.

MOST DON’T REALIZE WHAT AN EMT IS, OR WHAT THEY DO SOME SAY THEY’RE JUST AMBULANCE DRIVERS THIS PLAINLY IS NOT TRUE
THEY DO DRIVE THE AMBULANCE WITH THE LIGHTS AND THE SIREN BLOWING BUT OTHER TIMES THAT SAME DRIVER IS IN THE BACK TRYING TO KEEP A LIFE GOINGOR THAT SAME PERSON MAY BE OUT IN THE MUCK, THE BLOOD, AND POURING DOWN RAIN WORKING TO GET A DRIVER OUT OF THE CAR WHO IS IN SEVERE PAIN
BUT THE CALL THAT HURTS THE WORST FOR ALL EMT’S INVOLVED IS THE CALL WITH THE CHILD WHOSE PROBLEM CANNOT BE SOLVED. EVEN WITH ALL THE TRAINING ONE CAN POSSIBLE TAKE SOMETIMES THAT TRAINING DOES NOT A DIFFERENCE MAKE.
IT IS THEN THAT YOU WILL SEE THAT STRONG EMT WITH TEARS RUNNING DOWN THEIR FACES AND A LOOK OF HUMILITY. THE THOUGHTS OF THIS CALL WILL NEVER GO AWAY
BUT THE EMT REALIZES THERE WILL BE ANOTHER DAY
A DAY IN THEIR LIFE THAT THEY LISTEN FOR THE CALL AND WHEN THEY ARRIVE ON THE SCENE THEY REALIZE AFTER ALL, THAT SOME DAYS OR GOOD AND SOME DAYS ARE BAD
BUT ONE THING FOR CERTAIN, WITHOUT EMT’S LIFE WOULD CERTAINLY BE SAD.
No Such Profession--Ambulance Drivers!!

New “ Howler Sirens” added to EMSA Ambulances Proven to Reduce Accidents
11-14-2009 Ten-inch subwoofers called Howlers were installed in EMSA ambulances statewide beginning in November 2008, said spokeswoman Lara O’Leary. They emit a low-frequency hum that can cause vibrations up to 200 feet away, and EMSA officials credit the Howlers with cutting in half the number of crashes involving ambulances. “You can literally feel it, just like anyone that pulls up next to a car that has their stereo bumping extremely loud.”
In the first 10 months of last year, EMSA ambulances were involved in 16 wrecks at Oklahoma intersections, O’Leary said. But only eight were reported from January to October in more than 4.3 million miles of driving. Crash figures for earlier years were not available.
Remember that Ambulances respond to or from life threatening situations and need to get their patients to a health care facility as soon as possible.
