Helicopter deposits on the lake while he fights Natuurbrand – Jalopnik

A typical early lesson in first aid class is always careful when responding to an emergency; You do not want to become the emergency situation. Two emergency services in France discovered the hard way. A helicopter crashed into a lake on Sunday while collecting water in France. The crew fought against a natural fire and supplemented their bucket to respond to a different fire. The two crew members on board survived the spectacular crash and were transported to a nearby hospital together with an eyewitness.

This helicopter crashed in Brittany on the northwestern peninsula of the country. According to Air Med & RescueThe helicopter made 27 water drops on a fire in Beuzec-Cap-Sizun before he went to another fire in Rosporden. While they topped their water bucket in a lake near the small town of 7,580 people, the helicopter dropped too quickly and dipped his catotor in the water. The Splashdown immediately led to the chopper that got out of hand and hit the lake. The crew was able to climb out of the mutilated wreck and get to the coast.

It has been a record -breaking summer for forest fires throughout Europe. Have more than 137 square miles Burned in France, three times higher than the registered annual average. While the helicopter crash took place in Brittany, most Blazes have been to South France. Washing fires have been much more productive in neighboring countries. More than 1,344 square miles are burned in France.

We had a good part of forest fires on this side of the Atlantic Ocean with the Blazes that Los Angeles destroyed in January. In the midst of the destruction, a small bright spot was a Toyota Tacoma from 2013 that had survived, albeit somewhat melted. The owner of the truck told Jalopnik that everything behind that radiator under the hood was intact. The pick -up was not the only vehicle that received attention during the forest fires. Firefighters used a bulldozer of 93,000 pounds to remove brush from the path of the fire and leave cars from the road of emergency vehicles.
