Our instructional staff is in @greatsmokynps this week, delivering an Advanced Wilderness Life Support course for some of their Protection Rangers and SAR personnel. Day 1 covered everything from bear attacks to patient packaging to safe use of Ketamine, and we're just getting started! If your organization is interested in hosting one of our courses, reach out to us.

Today, Governor @andybeshearky bestowed honors on the @ky_state_police , @kentuckyguard , and RedSTAR personnel who responded to the Eastern Kentucky Floods this summer. Gov. Beshear commissioned these individuals as members of the Honorable Order of @kycolonels, including Paramedic W-1 who flew approximately 21 hours of missions aboard the KSP rescue aircraft. We are tremendously privileged to work with the professionals of the Kentucky State Police, who are some of the finest law enforcement and rescue officers in the nation.

While conducting one of many search flights today, the @ky_state_police rescue helicopter was signaled from the ground by a boat crew. Investigating further, the aircraft made contact with the crew who were Pararescuemen from the @123airliftwing / @airforcespecialtactics , and who had encountered a civilian who was experiencing a critical medical emergency amidst the floodwaters. The patient was brought aboard the aircraft, where our Paramedic Rescue Specialist provided Advanced Life Support with assistance from KSP Trooper EMT's as they flew to the closest hospital.
