A common occurrence in Webster Springs is the sight of "Life Flight" helicopters landing and taking off from the heli-pad located behind the Office of Emergency Services and 911 Communications Center.
The Air Evac Lifeteam helicopter shown in the video, painted in a patriotic theme, flew out an unresponsive adult female on November 29, 2012.
