One of the main differences between level 1 and level 2 trauma centers is that level 2 centers do not have the research and publication expectations of a level 1 center
Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise, Idaho is designated a Level I STEMI Center, Level I Stroke Center and Level II Trauma Center by the Idaho Time Sensitive Emergency System
It sounds to me that C d'A needs a trauma center that's on the Idaho side of the border. It's large enough to warrant one.
Salt Lake City has the only regional burn unit, and SLC also has the best pediatric hospital in the region.
Here in I.F., the trauma center stabilizes serious burn patients so they can be flown south. The same happens to seriously injured kids.

At this time of year, after furnaces have been shut down for months, these fires tend to happen when the furnaces haven't been cleaned or have old, clogged filters. There are often wood stove and fireplace fires that break out too, always in early fall.
