chances for recovery and survival, request EAGLE III early to obtain
the quickest response possible. EAGLE III can be requested by: physicians,
hospitals, other skilled medical facilities, first responders, emergency
medical services personnel, law enforcement officers and dispatchers,
and fire departments. The call for EAGLE III can be dispatched while
emergency vehicles are still enroute to the scene and the helicopter
can also be requested to go on standby while patients are evaluated
at the scene. If necessary, EAGLE III can be canceled at any time.

flights.
