LAFD Air Ops | Hoist Rescue 🚁 Back in March, LAFD Air Operations carried out a high-stakes hoist rescue, safely airlifting a 55-year-old woman in serious condition for urgent medical care. Crews navigated multiple high-tension power lines to reach the patient—an effort that required precision, experience, and seamless teamwork to ensure a successful outcome. #rescue #firefighter #firstresponders #helicopter #helicopterrescue | Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation
