MedAir is a unique, corporately funded
company, dedicated to using hovercraft
technology to more efficiently rescue lives in
Seattle, Washington and improve response
time to faster reach the emergency.

In 1980, a major car crash resulted in a fire
in downtown Seattle. Many kids, including
Emilio Anselmo, were trapped inside the
burning cars. Traffic slowed down, and
emergency vehicles rushed to the scene.
However the traffic jam blocked the truck’s
access to the fire, and the fire became
untamable. Many of the kids died but Emillio
lived.

Emillio in his late teens decided to build a
vehicle that improves emergency vehicle
efficiency. He started on a design and then
made a prototype in his garage. Next, he
came up with the idea to make a private
company with his prototype at the center.

After Emilio became interested in improving
the problem in Seattle he shared his idea with
the public. Founded in 2007, MedAir
dedicating the company to all children in
Seattle who have perished because of poor
response time of the emergency vehicles
necessary to save their lives. He gave his
step sister, Alyda the lead to represent the
company, and together they successfully
started the company MedAir.
