Helicopter Almost Lands on Firefighters Setting Up LZ

     

Saturday, December 12, 2009 On November 8, 2009 at about 0200 hrs we got a call to set up a LZ for a helicopter who was carrying a man who had been lost on a near by mountain. As we were setting up the LZ we heard the helo circle and then start to land before we were set up. The Chief and Assistant Chief were in the field setting out the lights for the LZ when the helo attempted to land and had to pull up until they had evacuated the field.
