Air Operations are incredibly important to a fire. While helicopters are most known for being able to carry loads of water or retardant quickly to remote areas, they are also critical to moving supplies and personnel and providing valuable fire intel to inform tactical decisions. At the Taos Helibase, multiple types of helicopters are ready to provide any support needed at a moment's notice.
