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.

Course Objectives: Discuss the role of responders in helicopter rescue operations; Identify and describe types of helicopter landings zones; Discuss the components of helicopter performance; Discuss basic helicopter safety; After completion of the classroom portion of the course, students will have an opportunity to practice live fire evolutions involving the Helo Firefighting Simulator; During this time students will use Dry Chemical, Firefighting foam and water to control or extinguisher the Helo fire.
