On October 21, 2007 a man-made wildfire swept into South Eastern Orange County touching the lives of every citizen in the county. As Monday, October 22nd broke the Santiago Canyon fire moved into the edges of the City of Irvine and beyond. At the time of this publishing the fire is only 65% contained with full containment estimated on November 2, 2007. Approximately 28,000 acres were burned and 9 homes were lost.

Orange County EMS activated the county Emergency Operations Center and with that activation placed Doctor's Ambulance on tactical alert.

Monday saw the staffing and deployment of 18 ambulances with more than 6 dedicated for any fire related emergency within and beyond the border of Irvine. Doctor's Ambulance staffed an additional Emergency Dispatcher, for a total of 3, to handle the increased call volume.

Orange County EMS requested our assistance staffing the Evacuation Center located at El Toro High School in Lake Forest. From mid Monday, October 21st, until Friday, October 26th, Doctor's Ambulance provided dedicated ambulance support to the Evacuation Center. For over 120 hours Doctor's Ambulance stood fast securing treatment and transport to local Emergency Rooms of incoming and staged fire victims.

On Friday morning, during a live broadcast on Channel 7, Doctor's Ambulance donated $10,000 to the fire victim relief fund, the only ambulance company to make such a donation.
