COTTONWOOD:     1:38 PM    Houston County 911 dispatched emergency units to an edged weapon assault on Hood Street in Cottonwood.

Responding to the scene ( remains on scene at 2:01 PM ), Cottonwood Rescue, Cottonwood Police and Houston County Sheriff Deputies/

1:54 PM   Cottonwood Rescue requested Advanced Life Unit dispatched to the scene.

1:55 PM   Cottonwood Police Corporal Justin Pearson reported tourniquit applied.

1:56 PM   Dothan Fire Engine Company 4 ( Southside ), a full paramedic fire engine company crew, was dispatched by Dothan 911. Dothan Fire Engine 4 asked Cottonwood Rescue if they needed to respond to the scene or meet them enroute. Cottonwood told Dothan respond to the scene.

2:05 PM  Cottonwood Rescue has patient loaded into the ambulance and transporting emergency to Dothan hospital. Dothan Fire Engine will intercept Cottonwood Rescue on Cottonwood Road. At the time they meet both Cottonwood Rescue and Dothan Fire will stop and Dothan Fire Paramedics will board the Cottonwood Rescue ambulance for advanced life care.

2:07 PM    At 11500 Cottonwood Road Dothan Fire Engine 4 and Cottonwood Rescue intercepted and Dothan Fire Paramedics boarding the ambulance. This is at Metcalf and Cottonwood Road.

2:10 PM   Dothan Fire Engine Company 4 has placed two paramedics on the ambulance with Cottonwood Rescue and transporting emergency, trauma alert, to Dothan hospital.

2:22 PM   Cottonwood Rescue and Dothan Fire arrived at Dothan hospital.

There is no foul play reported in this event at this time.

Dothan Police Chief Will Benny had the Dothan radio shop take the Dothan P25 Motorola radios and enhance them to be able to communicate with Houston County Sheriff Department which operates on a UHF Digital Kenwood radio system.

When Dothan Fire Chief Larry Williams and Houston County Volunteer Fire Chief Association learned of that enhancement, Dothan and Houston County was able to get the Dothan Fire radios enhanced where they can now communicate directly with the 17 Houston County Volunteer Fire Departments and 5 EMS which run in the county. That enhances mutual aid and makes team work happen.

NOTE:    If no foul play suspected why does RSN refer as "Edged Weapon Assault"?  The code dispatched is "Edged Weapon Assault". But information is possibly self inflicted.
