* Under Construction *

Capital City Fire/Rescue officially began providing Air Medevac services to surrounding communities in 1990. Prior to 1990, emergency patients from logging camps, fishing camps, and other remote locations were sent to Juneau via float plane or helicopter with little or no EMS care.

Recognizing this gap in the emergency medical services system, personnel at Bartlett Regional Hospital, Capital City Fire/Rescue, and Temsco Helicopters developed an Air Medevac service designed to serve communities, logging camps, fishing camps, and other remote locations within a 150 mile radius of Juneau.

Since it's inception, The Air Medevac Program has trained paramedics, EMT III's with at least two years of supervised field experience, and EMT II's.  Equipment has grow from a defibrillator and simple medical kit to in-flight monitoring equipment, infusion pumps, increased communications, survival equipment, specially designed litters that meet FAA regulations for transporting patients, as well as an increase in training to suit the needs of the wide range of patients encountered during extended transport.
