medical helicopter hazards and firefighting - 8 hours
Establishing a helicopter landing zone is one of the most frequent responses by fire departments in Missouri. Every rural area relies on air ambulance to transport critical patients. While firefighters may have a general understanding of the setting up the zone, the realism of a helicopter fire or emergency is not prepared for. The proper angle of approach, fuel leaks with fire, safely removing the patient and crew, all important topics, never trained on. Unaware responders have to be trained on the hazards.
