Fire crews in Winnipegosis played a role in potentially saving a life with STARS Air Ambulance.

Last night just after 5 pm The Winnipegosis fire department Was dispatched to the PR271 junction of Highway 20.

The team closed off a section of the road to prepare a safe landing space for the STARS crew.

As STARS was stabilizing their patient for travel, The Winnipegosis Fire Department also assisted by refueling the helicopter, shaving vital time off of their trip.

A huge thanks to Camperville Fire Department and Winnipegosis RCMP detachment and Winnipegosis Firefighters for assisting with traffic control.
