On Saturday, May 23, firefighters from Washington County Fire Services participated in specialized helicopter operations training with Walton County Air Rescue.
The hands-on training covered critical topics including landing zone preparation, proper size-up procedures, aircraft emergency response expectations, and the overall coordination involved in air rescue operations. This valuable training is necessary due to the high number of landing zones established throughout Washington County for medical and emergency incidents.
By continuing to train with partnering agencies, firefighters and emergency personnel are better prepared to provide safe, efficient, and effective responses when air rescue support is needed in the community.
