Essex Air Ambulance is an air ambulance service serving the county of Essex and surrounding areas, in the East of England. It is one of twenty-five air ambulance services in the United Kingdom. The charity began fundraising in 1997 and the service began operating in July the following year, and has flown over 11,000 missions since — being deployed two to four times per day. The helicopter is based at Earls Colne Airfield in Earls Colne, near Colchester. ==Service== Essex Air Ambulance provides helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) during daylight hours to the county of Essex and surrounding areas if required. A significant portion of missions are to traffic collisions on the busy, congested Essex road network. The air ambulance costs in the region of £250,000 per month to fund all costs and aircraft operations. In April 2007 the Essex Air Ambulance charity combined to form the Essex & Hertfordshire Air Ambulance Trust (EHAAT) responsible for both the Essex and Hertfordshire air ambulance services. The Hertfordshire Air Ambulance was introduced on 5 November 2008, and both services coordinate in the event of a major incident. Operational control is from the East of England Ambulance Service Control at Broomfield, Essex, who task the helicopters. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Essex Air Ambulance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
