Out of tragedy sometimes comes growth. Like LFB and HEMS's refusal to answer Erics emails led him on a world tour and has met some cracking firefighters.

The tragic deaths of Bruce Nelson and Tom D'ancona on Christmas eve 1991 in
a Long Island Sound boating incident led to the birth of EAGLE 1,
Conneticuts first police rescue helicopter service..

www.eagle1sr.homestead.com  Eagle 1 is a Bell 205 crewed by volunteers drawn from Americas finest. Totally equipped with the latest technology including " FOGGsight". This unique innovation enables the aircraft to operate 24 hours a day, like Allan's scanner !


Used for rescue AND law enforcement, yet funded by private donation. Eric knew that he would have to fly like an eagle, and so he did.

The unique interaction between rescue and police activities meant that Ericwas soon patrolling the mean streets of Conneticut in Police cruisers.

Being a furry superstar, he was accorded the role of Crimebusting
Supervisor, and given his own car. One of his recommendations to LAS will be the installation of cages, and more firepower in the trunk! All london ambulances are to have the traffic safety message "WE SWERVE AND PROTECT" written on the side
