Justin Jackimowicz’s Emergency Medical Services class got a visit from a MedCenter Air helicopter on Thursday, Nov. 10, on South Piedmont Community College’s Old Charlotte Highway Campus in Monroe. Students got an up-close look at the helicopter and heard what life is like for those who fly it. Members of Bakers Volunteer Fire Department set up the landing zone and also listened to the presentation. Above, crew member Tera Leach, left, talks with the class, including Melissa Patera, center, and Melonie Faircloth, about how the stretcher is loaded.
