Yesterday evening, June 11, Two Bear Air Rescue responded to a couple who had become lost in the Jewel Basin hiking area and were stuck in a precarious place, unable to navigate the steep snowy terrain. Upon locating them, we inserted our rescue specialist by hoist and were able to hoist both into our aircraft where they were rewarmed and flown off the mountain. This was the first hoist rescue in our new aircraft, and the first operational hoist for our newest paramedic rescue specialist. Michelle Brighting, FP-C, joined our team and brings years of ground, air EMS and hoist experience to our group.
Welcome aboard Michelle!

Two Bear Air Rescue is proud to introduce you to our new helicopter. The Airbus H145 D-3 was placed into service today. This aircraft is equipped with state of the art technology, more power and an increased useful load, which enhances our operational ability and safety. You may well see us flying around the valley training for the next few weeks as we hone our skills in this new aircraft. We are excited to bring this helicopter and its enhanced capabilities to the people and agencies we serve in our five state response area.

Today is National Peace Officer Memorial Day. Please join us in remembering and paying tribute to the peace officers who have died or been disabled in the line of duty. We would like to recognize members of the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office who have been assigned to us over the years. While their assignment has been an ancillary duty, their contribution to our organization has been invaluable. This photo is of some of those individuals. Our sincere thanks to those past and present law enforcement professionals - Sheriff Heino, Sheriff Curry, Deputies Sine, Childers, Harrison, Salois, Roberts, Duke, Nuno, Weathersbee, Wise, Grant and the Claridge brothers.

Monday was our annual physical assessment and water competency day. We work at ensuring our crew is up to the challenges the rescue environment might present to us. The “dunker” simulates egress from a helicopter that has suffered an inadvertent water landing. It’s great training while we await the arrival of our new helicopter in a few days. More on that to follow……
