Qc Fire

[A-Star Leader]

I just heard that some machine have been sent out without calling the "SOPFEU" prior departure to ask them if they needed more machine and apparently, some got returned home because the SOPFEU had enough. I just wanna make something clear, I never told anybody to send their machine out without contacting the SOPFEU initially. It makes me feel like I kicked the industry in the nuts. In other words the situation sucks. I sincerely regret if any company loss time and money by sending helicopter out for nothing.

Yes, you are right, it is called a CONTRACT!

 

Not a mystry word here!

T-Rex, did you're B3 went for nothing???

[Harmonic_Vibe]

Wow... did somebody actually launch out to Quebec at their own expense with no guarantee? That's gotta hurt... But live and learn...

Just kicked a 350 and a 355FX2 out the door yesterday to go help out in PQ. Feels like the season is finally starting...maybe.

It's a mass exodus to Quebec.....I've seen probably 10 machines come through CYHD today already. Anything from 206 to mediums. I just seen your two A-Stars ame206350.

ANNE SUTHERLAND, The Gazette

Forest fires are burning in northern Quebec and the province has asked for help from Ontario, Alberta and the northeastern United States. Five water bombers are on the way from elsewhere in Canada to augment the 14 Quebec has. Thirty-nine helicopters, some outfitted with buckets to pick up water, are also working the blazes. An additional 180 firefighters will be on duty.
