They used their vehicles to light up a runway for a medevac flight to land safely so that it could transport a patient, as reported by ABC News. Left with a dark runway due to the broken lights, workers at the Deering Clinic turned to community members for help in coming up with a way to arrange light for the safe landing of a medevac flight. Speaking of the inspiring incident, a community health aide at the Deering Clinic said: "It was very heartwarming. The residents were asked to park in a safe area near the runway lights and point their lights in one direction. He added that this is not the first time the Deering residents have helped with lighting up a dark runway, they did it in 2020 as well.
