Volunteer Firefighters Undergo Hands On LifeFlight Training
March 5, 2013
Volunteer firefighters from three North Escambia fire stations participated in a LifeFlight training class Monday night at the Walnut Hill Fire Station on Highway 97. A LifeFlight crew gave the participants from the Walnut Hill, Molino and Cantonment fire stations a tour of the aircraft, plus instruction on how to handle emergencies involving the helicopter, how setup a landing zone and how patients are loaded.

Glad to see they’re going strong after all these years! My time flying with them in the ’80s produced many cherished memories and valuable friendships. Fly safe guys.
Great shots! I’ve never (thank you God) seen the inside or the loading of the Lifeflight. Thanks William!
