Fernley Gets Helicopter Emergency Base | Reno News

Fernley, Nevada, just soared to new heights in emergency care—officially launching a medical helicopter base at North Lyon Fire Station 61 in partnership with Battle Born Medevac. Strategically positioned along I-80, this chopper slashes response times across Northern Nevada, including key towns like Pyramid Lake, Gerlach, and Lovelock, now able to access advanced air transport with whole blood products mid-flight—something ground ambulances can’t match. While the helicopter serves as a regional asset (not always available locally during other emergencies), Fernley and Lyon County residents enjoy free air transport coverage until May 31, 2029—a major win for community health and safety.
