CULLEOKA — Maury County Fire Department units responded to assist Maury EMS on Sunday, May 3, at 12:13 p.m. after a traumatic injury call in Culleoka. Air Evac landed at the scene to transport the patient, according to the Maury County Fire Department's social media post. No additional details about the patient or the circumstances of the injury were released.

The response is a reminder of the coordinated effort required to serve a rural county as large and spread out as Maury. Air medical transport means the difference between life and death when a Level I trauma center is 45 minutes away by ground. Our first responders and EMS crews deserve the community's ongoing gratitude and support.
