Area response teams will be looking to sharpen their skills to prepare for times when helicopters are needed at the scenes of emergencies. Iowa Methodist in Des Moines will be holding special Life Flight training this week. Director of Pella Ambulance Doug Polking says the program is aimed to teach how to set up and secure a landing zone. Weather and time permitting, a helicopter will be on-site for the training. It will be held Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at Pella Regional Health Center.
