Willison losing air ambulance operator; closest service provider 120 miles away

(Willison, ND) -- The closure of an air ambulance company in Williston means the nearest airlift provider is 120 miles away in Minot.  

Guardian Flight is closing this week due to rising operating costs.  

The Williston Assistant Fire chief says the department's ability to coordinate direct scene flights will be reduced.  

Trinity First Response in Minot is the closest air ambulance provider.
