Hemet council to be updated on air ambulance



Hemet Fire Chief Matt Shobert will update the City Council on Tuesday about negotiations with Medical Air to base an air ambulance at a Hemet fire station, according to the council agenda.

Shobert previously said Mercy Air's decision to relocate a helicopter from Banning to Thermal left a void in the region. Bringing a helicopter to Hemet would improve some transport times and provide additional income from renting a spot for the aircraft.

Shobert will provide the update in a work study session immediately after council members' reports.

The meeting will be at 9:30 a.m. in council chambers at 450 E. Latham Ave.
