Abstract

A large family home exploded after a propane leak ignited. Initial reports from the scene noted that 11 people were injured, with many sustaining critical injuries. Immediately, multiple helicopter emergency medical services aircraft were dispatched to respond to the scene, and ground emergency medical services (EMS) providers were en route. Of the five aircraft requested, only two were available to respond; one aircraft was out for maintenance, and two others were committed to other missions.
