300+ campers ensnared by fire. CAL FIRE tells them no hope of extraction, prepare to jump in the lake to survive. Army pilots say they can help. CAL FIRE says too dangerous. Crews go anyway. 0 vis in smoke filled canyons. Overload helos w/ppl. Then they go back. Twice. Heroespic.twitter.com/1wB8uE55DI
hear some people dunking on CAL FIRE. Maybe not the best tact. Those guys are risking life and limb fighting fires all over the state right now, and only gave their best expert advice about the prospects of a successful rescue. That’s what made the crews’ actions so heroic.
I know a guy who did something similar under heavy fire in Vietnam. Chopper pilots, man. Tough breed.
They are the real “hold my beer and watch this...” heroes of the world.
Here’s one @Carter_PE - also a former @CalGuard soldier - and I agree on. These guys are heroes and our country is lucky to have men and women like them.
Aircraft no doubt stressed by the weight of the crew's massive, brass balls.

Thank you! Need more good stories. Army pilots have more training and air equipment, so wouldn't blame CAL FIRE using caution based on limitation.
Since the army had evacuated other campers, I wonder why CAL FIRE did not call the army to see if they could evacuate.
It’s easy to question when you’re not on the ground. I’m just thrilled the army had the ability and equipment to make this happen.
Omg this is incredible. Thank God for them
