On June 29, HALO-1 completed its inaugural emergency medical scene
call to the Bow Island area, followed by an aerial reconnaissance
mission of a wildfire in partnership with Cypress County Emergency
Services three days later.

“Our partnership with HALO is truly invaluable. Because of this
collaboration, we were able to stage our resources directly at the
fire hall, which resulted in our response time being seven minutes
faster,” said the Cypress County Emergency Services Fire Chief Jason
Linton.

“When you are facing fast-moving fires and rapidly evolving
emergencies, those minutes can make all the difference,” said Linton.
“We are proud to work alongside partners like HALO to keep our region
safe.”
