On Call with Metro Ambulance

Flight crews, training drills, and the calls most people never see.

A lot of my favorite work happens with Metro Ambulance here in Meridian. Riding along and shooting their crews has shown me how much goes into every call, from helicopter transports to big training drills that get everyone ready for the worst day. These are some of the moments I've been lucky to capture.

In the air

When a patient needs to get somewhere fast, the ground crew and the flight crew work as one team. Every move is practiced, and it shows.

Training for the worst day

Mass casualty drills put firefighters, police, and paramedics on the same scene so they're ready when it's real. They're intense to shoot and even more intense to watch.

On the road

Most of the job looks like this: trucks checked, stocked, and ready to roll, day or night.
