This afternoon, crews assisted Harford County Department of Emergency Services with a helicopter fly-out at Edgewood High School.

A fly-out is a coordinated operation in which a patient is transferred from the scene to a medical helicopter for rapid transport to a trauma or specialty care center. These operations are typically used when time-sensitive care is critical and faster transport can significantly impact patient outcomes.

Fire and EMS personnel worked together to secure a safe landing zone, assist the flight crew, and support patient care during the transfer. The incident highlights the importance of interagency coordination and mutual aid in emergency medical responses.
