Notes:

H-403 arriving back at the helibase to pick up another load of firefighters during the fight against the stubborn "Hunter Falls" Fire. The fire was high up in a rough canyon without any easy ground access, necessitating the need for crew and supply shuttles from the base near the CA/NV state line just south of I-80, the highway seen in the background.
