Firefighter's request for discussion about LZ video

Hello Folks,

First let me introduce myself. My name is Jonathan and I am a Captain at my fire department. On a basis, I am setting up LZ's so that we may fly patients out that are in critical care situations.

Below is a link to a video which has me a little confused. I was wondering if you could give me some opinions on this and what you guys think would be an optimal landing situation. Since we rarely ever get a chance to talk to our pilots (Due to the situation).

In the video, I don't think I would ever have a helicopter land here. Especially with a field next to it. Since I'm far from a pilot, maybe there is something that I a missing that you guys could fill in the blanks on. Or this is really as irresponsible as it looks.

Have a great day!!!!

Jonathan
