We are proud to announce the recipients of the 2020 Texas EMS for Children Crew of the Year Award are Paramedic Heather Waites and EMT Ryan Wilkenfeld of Acadian Ambulance of Texas, Southeast Texas Region, Beaumont. Paramedic Waites and EMT Wilkenfeld received this award for the crew’s life-saving response to a traffic accident they witnessed during the historic ice storm in February 2021. Waites and Wilkenfeld were transporting a non-critical patient as a vehicle passed their ambulance. The vehicle’s driver lost control on the icy highway, flipped, and landed overturned in the median filled with ice and freezing water. The crew pulled off the road to render aid and summoned additional units to respond. They began extrication and successfully rescued four patients before reentering the vehicle to find an infant submerged in the water and unresponsive.
