Life Flight personnel will conduct a landing zone class at your agency, and instruct agency members on setting up a safe landing zone, ways to avoid certain hazards, and additional policies and procedures.

Once the landing zone has been properly constructed, a Life Flight helicopter will land and participants will be instructed on the proper way to "hot-load" a patient. EMS personnel will be awarded 2 CEU hours for the training.
