Square Trust Rescue Rail Helicopter

The Square Trust Rescue helicopter performs around 500 missions per year. A mix of ambulance, inter-hospital transfers and Police work makes up these jobs. The unique properties of the AS 350 B2 Squirrel helicopter to respond quickly and easily to emergencies is a real asset. The thing that makes their service so special and that touches the lives of our community is the people. The team is made up of Pilots, Paramedics, Flight Nurses and Police who work and train hard to ensure the best level of service is delivered. The community, service groups and local businesses that support the service with donations of time, money, goods and services make this work possible.
