Black River Technical College (BRTC) Alumni John Nichols of Survival Flight spoke to Career and Technical Center (CTC) students about his experiences throughout his career as an EMT/Paramedic, including the years he has spent on the Survival Flight team.
The aircraft visited the BRTC Pocahontas location and students were allowed to see the inside operations. CTC student Bishop Percell volunteered to act as patient. Nichols strapped him onto the stretcher and placed him into the aircraft, so students could see the small space the crew works with onboard.
