This morning firefighters and EMTs from stations 41, 42, 50, 40, 56, 18, 46 and 31 went over to Chestnut Ridge to do training on the new MSP helicopters.  MSP received new helicopters to replace their fleet of Dauphin (the new helicopters are larger and heavier and able to carry more equipment).  We had discussion about EMS apparatus they carry, proper landing zone operations and patient packaging and loading.  Thanks to MSP Trooper for coming over for this training.
