#WildFireWednesday When the terrain is tough and time is critical, Helitack is how CAL FIRE gets there fast. Helitack crews are a blend of aviation (helicopter) and firefighting (attack), using helicopters to reach remote areas and support wildland fire and rescue missions from the air. See behind the scenes at the Alma Helitack Base and see the prep, precision, and teamwork that keeps their crew ready: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiMMSVoktls #CALFIRE #CALFIREMEU #HowardForestHelitack #AlmaH

During the cover of night, pilots and crew members simulate real-world scenarios involving water drops, navigation, communication, using night vision goggles, and coordinating operations between different aircraft.

CAL FIRE's Copter 604, based out of Hollister Helitack Base, was recently dispatched to support the #WhiteFire. Mission: perform an aerial ignition of a 228-acre unburned "island." Working in coordination with Incident Management Team 1 and Kern County Fire Department, the S70i FIREHAWK team used a "Plastic Sphere Dispenser" to deploy 4,000 "Dragon Eggs." The unburned area presented an ongoing risk to firefighters. @calfiresandiego | CAL FIRE
