Fire & Life Safety Launches New Whole Blood Program
York County Fire Chief Allen W. Baldwin is proud to announce the addition of a Whole Blood Program to the department’s EMS protocols. The program allows for the administration of whole blood to critical medical patients who may require blood and trauma victims at their location and during transport to a medical center, which can significantly improve patient outcomes. “The time that passes from our first responders’ assessment of the patient to their arrival at a hospital is crucial,” Chief Baldwin explained. "The timely delivery of whole blood to the patient could be a determining factor in their survival." The program was launched on Tuesday, November 18, 2025. More information about this life-saving initiative is available online.     READ ON...
