Saints Flight

Training is one of the most important investments we can make in the safety of our crews, our partners, and the communities we serve.

Today, Saints Flight had the opportunity to partner with the Sangamon County Sheriff's Office and Rochester Fire & Rescue to host a Landing Zone (LZ) safety class. After discussing what it takes to safely establish and manage a helicopter landing zone, crews gathered around the aircraft for a closer look before watching an exciting K9 bite demonstration involving one of the Sheriff's Office K9 teams.

Recurrent training and opportunities to train alongside our public safety partners help ensure we're prepared to work together when every second counts. Strong partnerships and shared education lead to safer scenes, smoother operations, and ultimately better outcomes for our patients and communities.

This is just the beginning! We'll be back several more times this month to ensure every Sangamon County deputy has the opportunity to complete this valuable training.

Thank you to the Sangamon County Sheriff's Office and Rochester Fire Department for training alongside us and for your continued commitment to keeping our communities safe. 🚁🐕
