Helicopter Restoration Program
Restoring critical air support assets to keep our skies safe during wildfire season and emergency response.
San Bernardino County covers over 20,000 square miles making aerial firefighting assets absolutely essential. Our helicopter fleet provides rapid deployment, water drops, and aerial reconnaissance that ground crews simply cannot replicate. This campaign funds the full restoration of a key rotary wing aircraft that has been grounded due to aging components and avionics upgrades needed to meet modern safety standards. Restored to service, this helicopter will dramatically improve our response capability during peak wildfire season.
Your Impact
- Restore one grounded helicopter to full operational status
- Upgrade avionics to current FAA safety standards
- Extend aircraft service life by 15+ years
- Reduce aerial response time across the county
