LifeFlight from Missoula made a flight to DeBorgia for the West End Volunteer Fire Department and St. Regis Volunteer Fire Department to train first-responders on landing zones and the safety on hot and standard loading procedures. The flight crew was peppered with questions that they answered with a smile and obvious pride in what they do to safely transport patients. Once the training was completed, everyone enjoyed spaghetti prepared by Louise Magee. (Pictures from Bruce Charles)
