An interesting note from the article is that the local sheriff said they were flying a Blackhawk around. Either he’s wrong about the model, or the military is involved. Civilian agencies don’t fly Blackhawks.https://twitter.com/Steven_Strauss/status/1040282912418131971 …

@LACOFD@LACoFireAirOps (and not@LAFD@LAFDAirOps) are among FD's flying a purpose built@Sikorsky (now division of@LockheedMartin) S-70 variant known as the#Firehawk. Here's a link to more info: https://www.google.com/search?q=Firehawk+Helicopter … ^BH -
That’s right,
@LAFDTalk.
We like to say the Firehawk was “born a Black Hawk” and later transformed. This video gives a quick explanation:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOogDbHeofg …

Some public safety agencies, such as our colleagues
@VCAirUnit are rebuilding former military Blackhawks for local government use, and are using the Firehawk moniker to describe them: https://www.rotorandwing.com/2018/08/23/united-secures-firehawk-contract-ventura-county-fire/ … We hope this information helps. ^BHThanks.
