Ellie Hansen, 4, and Stephanie Hansen wave as Ellie’s father and Stephanie’s husband, Chief Warrant Officer 3 John Hansen, leaves the Utah National Guard’s aviation facility in West Jordan with 8 other Guardsmen on Thursday. Nine soldiers and two UH-60L Black Hawk helicopters from the Guard’s 97th Aviation Troop Command, 2nd General Support Aviation Battalion, 211th Aviation Regiment have been tapped to help fight wildfires in California. Once on location in Mather, California, the Guardsmen will undergo a two-day training and then be placed into firefighting duty. Currently, it is anticipated they will support operations for approximately 15 days, making repeated trips to nearby water sources to dip their 600-gallon buckets and, from the air, drop water on the flames.
