There are times where we have critical patients requiring long transports. An air ambulance is a great way to get a quicker transport to the proper medical facility for definitive care.
Though there are situations where an air ambulance can do a hot transport without shutting down, there are other times where the flight crews have to properly prepare the patient for flight conditions. Thanks to @universityofutah @uofuairmed for your help with this awesome video!

There are many ways to reduce the risk of starting a wildfire, one of the most obvious is to not leave your recreational fires unattended. Though stumbling upon this abandoned fire helped us film this critical message it is sad to see this tremendous mistake.
If your fire hasn’t naturally burned out, ensure you wet it thoroughly and ensure it is 100% out before you leave it. There should be no sign of heat or smoke if put out properly.

🔥Prevent Wildfires. Stay Off Dry Grass🔥
Wildfire season is upon us and roughly 70% of Utah wildfires are human caused.
With high temperatures and elevated fire conditions across the state, dry vegetation is a lot more susceptible to fire ignitions. Simply driving or parking on dry grass can start a wildfire within seconds which can spread extremely fast. Hot vehicles can ignite dry grass underneath at 500 degrees with the potential for temperatures to reach 1200 degrees or more.
Let’s do our part to prevent wildfires by using our #FireSense and staying off dry grass!
