Ore. fire fighters use transit bus to transport patient to hospital

  • Date: 01/02/2024

Portland firefighters had to improvise when transporting a patient to the hospital on New Year’s Eve.

Firefighters were dispatched to a man who was experiencing chest pains on a TriMet bus near Southeast 94th Avenue and Foster Road. There were no available ambulances, KOIN reported.

Facing a 20-minute wait for an ambulance, the firefighters decided to use the transit bus itself, with firefighters staying on the bus with the patient and a fire apparatus leading the way to the hospital.
