There was a report of a helicopter down on the Buckhorn Fire while the crew was in route back home. It was a Sikorsky S-61 helicopter which the crew had been flying in, on the previous days. The heicopter went down at the north end of the 15,848-acre Buckhorn Fire, in the same division the crew had been working on. Reports say that the helicopter crashed and burned Tuesday night, leaving four fire personnel in critical condition. No word on the extent of those injuries at this time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the fire fighters and their families.
