🚁 When wildfires grow, California’s response grows with them. CAL FIRE trains and certifies military helicopter crews so they can safely and effectively join the fight during major incidents. That level of coordination doesn’t happen on the fly — it takes planning, practice, and teamwork. During the recent Military Helicopter Manager training, CAL FIRE personnel trained military aviation crews on waterdrop coordination and how to safely integrate military aircraft into wildfire operations. The goal is simple: ensure every aircraft in the sky supports firefighters on the ground safely and effectively. Prepared before the emergency. Ready when California needs us. #CALFIRE #WildfirePreparedness #Aviation #CaliforniaNationalGuard CaliforniaNationalGuard CAL FIRE Air Ops
