King County Medic One has specially outfitted one of their vehicles to serve as a potential transport, if needed, for a patient with a high-risk communicable disease such as Ebola.

King County Medic One provides paramedic services for south King County.

No people in King County have been diagnosed with Ebola, and an outbreak here would be very unlikely, according to Public Health — Seattle and King County officials. Even so, local health care providers are preparing for the possibility of an Ebola case so that individuals in need of care will get it rapidly while also limiting the risk of more infections to health care workers or the public.
