Helicopter Flight Rescue System/Medical Technician
Let Vertical Systems International's Helicopter Long Line Rescue teams provide stand-by rescue and medic service for your program. Specifically designed for remote operations in rugged terrain where traditional evacuation methods and medical services will take to long or are simply not practical. VSI has seen their teams perform for the last five years in a variety of rugged and remote terrain with great success in rescuing client's-injured workers.

H.F.R.S. is a tool that rescuers can use when they have done a risk assessment and have determined that realistic, conventional ground based evacuation techniques will not be sufficient in getting a worker with a life threatening injury to medical aid with-in the 'Golden Hour.' H.F.R.S. uses a helicopter and a long line along with various rescue systems components (Ministry of Transport approved) to place rescuers into and extricate victims out of technical and potentially dangerous environments. H.F.R.S. can effectively minimize the risk to both victims and rescuers by reducing the amount of time they are exposed to risk and by speeding up the extrication process.
