In this episode of The Real ResQ, we are joined by Steph Maier from Travis County STARFlight, Austin, Texas.  During this conversation, we go from laughing at wild and crazy rescues to a somber retelling of tragedy striking one of their own.  Listen in as Steph and I talk about swift water rescues and flash floods. We get into victims being hoisted to safety with pets in backpacks and being launched to a capsized boat.  This episode reminds us that although many rescues end well and give us the satisfaction of helping others in their time of need, there is a dark side to what we do.  Enjoy!
