Helicopter Crash Amid Wildfire in Utah | Durham News

A Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane helicopter crashed during wildfire suppression in Utah, killing two crew members. The aircraft went down despite favorable flying conditions and ignited a new fire upon impact. Rescue teams were delayed due to intense flames, with officials planning to reach the site within 24 hours. The NTSB and FAA will lead the investigation, though access may remain hindered by ongoing wildfires. This tragedy follows a massive blaze that’s already scorched over 160 square miles and destroyed six homes, temporarily halting firefighting efforts before they resumed.
