Beebe drill helps train staff, first responders

Nighttime exercise simulates helicopter crash on top of Lewes hospital
November 30, 2019

The scenario was a helicopter crash on top of Beebe Healthcare hospital. Beebe staff, paramedics and local firefighters staged a drill at the Lewes hospital Nov. 13, but without the helicopter. The helicopter was called away for an actual emergency and could not take part in the nighttime drill. Even so, firefighters from Lewes and Rehoboth Beach arrived at the scene with their ladder trucks to scale the roof of the hospital to put out the fire and provide access for emergency personnel.
