Agency Fire Rescue personnel direct an agency helicopter in for a landing during a training exercise.

At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, agency Fire Rescue personnel direct an agency helicopter in for a landing during a training exercise.

The activity taking place in Kennedy's Launch Complex 39 turn-basin parking lot was only one of several drills. It was part of a new training program that was developed by Kennedy's Fire Rescue department along with NASA Aircraft Operations to sharpen the skills needed to help rescue personnel learn how to collaborate with helicopter pilots in taking injured patients to hospitals as quickly as possible.
