Medevac Training Received

A group of firefighters and civilians gather around a Nassau Police helicopter on a grassy field. The sky is clear with a few clouds. The helicopter is blue with visible rotors. Participants wear various uniforms, and the scene suggests an event or demonstration.

This weekend Nassau County Police Department’s Aviation Unit provided training to the North Bellmore Fire Department’s Fire and EMS personnel on medical emergency evacuation (“Medevac”) situations. It is important for both of our agencies to work together and understand each other’s roles to ensure safe, smooth and efficient care and transportation of patients.
