COLUMBIA — Maury County's first responders were put to the test on consecutive days during the first weekend of May. On Sunday, May 3, units assisted Maury EMS with a traumatic injury call in Culleoka, with Air Evac landing at the scene to transport the patient, according to the Maury County Fire Department's Facebook page. The night before, on Saturday, May 2, units were dispatched just before 11 p.m. to a motor vehicle accident on Williamsport Pike at the railroad tracks.
Details on patient conditions were not released, but the responses reflect the round-the-clock commitment of the men and women who serve Maury County in uniform. Air medical transport being available and on scene in a rural community like Culleoka is a testament to the regional emergency services network that serves this area.
We are grateful for every firefighter, EMT, and paramedic who answered the call that weekend — and every weekend. This community is safer because of their service.
