Cabell EMS continues Gustav relief efforts
HUNTINGTON -- Emergency officials from Cabell County continued their Hurricane Gustav relief mission Wednesday in Louisiana.
The group includes Cabell County EMS Supervisor Chad Ward of Barboursville and paramedics Mike Hensley and Kraig Barker of Huntington. They are joined by Chuck Peoples of the West Virginia Office of Emergency Services.
The group was scheduled to transport evacuees Wednesday from a nursing home in Delhi, La., to their original facility in Sulphur, La.
It's an estimated eight-hour trip, which Hensley expected travel twice Wednesday. The Cabell County crew was traveling as part of a 25-ambulance convey.
"It's just a massive effort to move these people from place to place," he said.
Miscommunication in Baton Rouge, La., led to a light day's work Tuesday, Hensley said.
