Miami County EMS uses two trailors for Special Operations.
The first trailer is a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) response trailer used for disaster response. This trailer
had its first real test shortly after the Greensburg, KS tornado where Miami County was one of the first to respond
with this type of resource. Housed in this trailer are extra spine boards, c-collars, IV supplies, bandage supplies,
radios and various other resources.
Miami County's second trailer is the newest one which is primarly used to haul the John Deere Medical Gator. The
Gator is used at events such as the Roots Festival in Paola or the John Brown Jamboree in Osawatomie where it can negotiate
crowds easier than an ambulance. The trailer itself is air-conditioned and hauls a portable generator and can be used
as a first-aid station at such events.
