SALT LAKE CITY â In line with emergency response across the West, so far in 2021, Intermountain Life Flight has already performed more hoist rescues than in all of 2020.
âLast year (2020) was a pretty normal year, pretty normal numbers for us,â said David Weber, Intermountain Life Flight Paramedic. âItâs this year, itâs the post-pandemic summer that seems like weâre really busy.â
While other air ambulance transport services serve Utah, Intermountain Life Flight is in a league of itâs own. Theyâre the only civilian air ambulance rescue service in the United States with Federal Aviation Administration certification to conduct hoist operations with a paramedic attached to the helicopter.
