WIPP Fire Department Personnel Receive Medevac Training
 
Recently, members of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) Fire Department participated in training provided by Native Air, the local air ambulance service. Due to the rural location of the WIPP facility, it is important that these first responders understand the importance of medical evacuation capabilities, including setting up an appropriate landing zone for the helicopter and assisting the pilot in landing the aircraft.
 
The WIPP Fire Department’s mission is to provide the best and most effective medical treatment available for the WIPP workforce and surrounding communities.
