In the air medical world, there are two main types of transports: inter-facility (from one hospital to another) and scene (originating from a non-hospital location.) One of the big differences between a scene call and an inter-facility transport is the landing site. Rather than landing at a hospital or airport helipad, a scene call landing could happen on a variety of surfaces and requires extra precautions to ensure the safety of everyone on site. In some cases we are able to land on an improved surface, like a roadway or concrete pad, but in many cases we have to land at an unimproved location like a dirt road or grass field. This is one of the areas where our healthcare partners help ensure the safety of our teams. They train with our crews so that when the time comes, they can assist in selecting and setting up a safe landing zone, communicating with our team on board the aircraft to ensure everything looks good from above and below, before we touch down. It takes major teamwork to ensure we arrive at and depart a scene safely and we’re grateful to every person who plays their part in this process day in and day out. We’re lucky to be part of such a strong ‘village.’ 📍 LF 23 - Moses Lake on a scene call in Douglas County, Washington 📸 LF 23 RW pilot, Silas B. #lifeflightnetwork #therewhenyouneedus #airmedicaltransport #airmedical #criticalcare #cct #airambulance #lifeflight #emergencyhealthcare #ems #emergencymedicine #teamwork #collaboration #partners #takesavillage
