Albion Fire Department and COVA Ambulance responded early this evening for the MVA with one vehicle reported on it's roof at Eagle Harbor Road and Route 104. Fire control updated possibly three cars involved including the property owners. All vehicles were off the road and with the Eagle Harbor Road bridge being closed, the decision was made to allow traffic to pass. Mercy Flight was requested and responded with a 13 minute ETA to the landing zone approximately one half mile east of the scene. COVA transported one patient to Medina Memorial by and the other injured patient to the landing zone where the patient was then  transferred to Mercy Flight for transport to Strong Memorial. Both patients condition were not available. PHOTOS

PLEASE NOTE: I am making changes to how the training schedule is posted. There are several reasons the main is simplicity in maintaining multiple websites using one source file. Changes you will see are multiple county training listings with the host site being on top. For example, The Orleans site will have Orleans followed be neighboring counties. The Genesee site will have Genesee training listed first followed by neighboring counties, and so on and so forth. Clicking on any hyperlinked class title will take you to that host county website for full class details, including the correct EMO office to call for scheduling. Another change is any STATE classes will be listed in red, EMS classes in green and all other such as county offered or other FD offered classes in light blue. I hope these changes will make it easier for you as well as for me.

My plan is to do the same for the events page as well. Any questions or problems, please drop me an email. Thanks, Ralf.
