Bartlesville firefighters have been undergoing their annual training in air ambulance evacuation over the past week near Lee Lake, located on Adams Boulevard east of Silver Lake Road.
The training is provided by Air Evac Lifeteam of Claremore. Air Evac Lifeteam is the largest independently owned and operated membership-supported air ambulance service in the United States, with more than 125 bases across 15 states.
On Thursday, firefighters were trained on how to direct a safe landing and prepare a patient for flight, as well as how to respond in the event of a helicopter crash.
Training will continue next week as well.
