To have one or two life flight helicopters a week respond to incidents in Amador County isn't unusul but this last weekend things took a turn for the worse in Amador County.

It really started Saturday afternoon with a car accident on Highway 49 north of Plymouth. AFPD's Battalion 20 along with Cal-fire responded to a report of a single vehicle accident. The first unit at scene found that they had a single vehicle with three occupants trapped inside all with major injuries. The request was made for three life flight helicopters. Calstar 10 was the closest coming from westover field, CHP's H24 also responded to transport a patient.

Saturday came to a quite close but Sunday brought another three life flights the first was for the victim of a fall, the second was an emergency transfer from Sutter Amador and the third was for the victim of an asault in the area of Taco Bell Sunday Evening.

Election night was a night where the citizens of Amador County had a chance to come together. On everyone's ballot was measure M, a sales tax increase that passed and will be used to support the first publicly funded fire program in Amador County. The money raised will be distributed to each of the six volunteer fire departments in the county that protect you, your loved ones and your neighbors. Measure M is very specific about how the money can be spent and used.
