New chopper in Cleveland skies
Some Clevelanders were startled Thursday night by a big yellow chopper that circled the city and landed at the Junior High School. Police dispatchers and the Advocate office were inundated with calls from residents wanting to know what was happening. What was happening was a training session for Cleveland firefighters and EMS personnel, working for the first time with a new air ambulance service out of Conroe. Sky Med, a division of PHI Air Medical Services, is expanding their service area into Liberty County and wanted to have a landing zone practice session with Cleveland emergency personnel. "It's supposed to be the fastest helicopter in the country," said John Davis, public information officer for Cleveland VFD. Davis said the training session was an opportunity for both parties to coordinate landing zone procedures and ground-to-air communications " It went real well," Davis said, who stated that Sky Med was "really pleased" with the result of the practice.
