At 3:17 PM the Alpha's were dispatched to the Giant Plaza, 255 Northland Center, in Ferguson Township for a landing zone for Geisinger LifeFlight. Centre LifeLink had requested the helicopter to transport their patient. One engine was requested to set up a landing zone in a small grass field in the area. Engine 514 responded on the call and once on scene began to assist with traffic control. When Geisinger LifeFlight landed crew members also assisted with patient transfer from the ambulance to the helicopter.
Crews were available approximately 45 minutes later.
