BURKE, N.C. -- A recent study by a forward-thinking Morganton doctor could help make emergency medical response vehicles more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly.

Hawkins' study appears in the July issue of the Journal of Emergency Medical Services, a national publication reporting on out-of-hospital care.
