#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
