A Minnesota Helitack module is on the way to Lewiston, Idaho this week. The Type 3 Bell 206L4 helpcopter with pilot and fuels specialist, along with the five person Minnesota DNR helitack crew, will provide support to western wildfires.
Helitack crews provide initial attack and bucket drops on wildfires, fly reconnaissance and can also fly in fire personnel and gear to remote locations. The helitack module will initially be pre-positioned in Lewiston.
