Local HERO is the Wood Buffalo region’s emergency helicopter medevac service, whose goal is to save lives by saving time. The Helicopter Emergency Response Organization (HERO) provides fast access to emergency medical care, especially for remote accidents and emergencies that are hard to reach in our northern landscape. It’s a 24/7 operation, with two pilots on duty at all times and ready to lift off within eight minutes when necessary. In this episode, join our podcast host Cullen Bird as he takes to the skies with HERO’s pilots, and speaks with Local HERO Foundation executive director Andrea Spring.
