Belt Rural Fire District and Belt Volunteer Ambulance had the opportunity to train with the crew from Mercy Flight yesterday. The training focused on helicopter operations, landing zone safety, patient loading procedures, and improving coordination between ground responders and air medical crews.

We appreciate Mercy Flight taking the time to come out, share their knowledge, and help strengthen our teamwork and preparedness for future emergency responses. Opportunities like this are invaluable for continuing education and ensuring the best possible care for our community.

Thank you to the Mercy Flight crew for your time and professionalism!

Community Reminder: Call 911 First

Even in a small, close-knit community like Belt, 911 should always be your first call for any fire or medical emergency.

Calling a responder directly can delay help. When you call 911, dispatch can immediately alert crews, send the right resources, and coordinate the response.

Calling 911 doesn’t always mean lights and sirens—it means the right response.

Even if it seems minor, calling 911 ensures the fastest, most coordinated help possible.

Thank you for supporting your local volunteers.

🚒🔥 Mutual Aid Response 🔥🚒

Yesterday at 4:09 PM, our department was dispatched to provide mutual aid to the Highwood Rural Fire Department for a wildland fire.

The fire burned approximately 50 acres before being brought under control.

This is a friendly reminder to please use caution with any fire activity during these unseasonably dry conditions. A small spark can turn into a large incident quickly.

Thank you to all agencies involved for the strong teamwork and safe operations.
