These are helicopters that were used by the Army in the 1960s, subsequently given to the National Guard at the end of the Vietnam conflict, and eventually declared to be surplus equipment by the Department of Defense. That is a program that allows the Federal Government to reassign aircraft it no longer deems serviceable to other government agencies. Years earlier we had acquired three helicopters through the Federal Excess Property Program (FEPP). We setup shop in a hanger on the west side of John Wayne Airport, and because the closest fire station was Station 33, it was decided that we would be called ORCO Copter 33. That year was also a first for many other types of calls ranging from wildland fires, medical rescues, and responses to weather related emergencies. It was with that arrangement that we responded to our first incident on June 22, 1994. of McMinville Oregon included providing qualified pilots, maintenance technicians and a 900 gallon fuel truck with a driver.

Our first contract for helicopter service with Evergreen Helicopters Inc. This wasnвЂ™t exactly like buying a new helicopter, building a hanger, and sending a bunch of our folks to Bell Helicopter School, but thatвЂ™s how it all started. Reports like these helped the Orange County Board of Supervisors to approve the OCFD to enter into a one year contract for a firefighting helicopter with pilots, mechanics, a fuel truck and a fuel truck driver. After-action reports published that year emphasized the fact that the OCFD did not have firefighting helicopters, and the OCFDвЂ™s Laguna incident command staff believed immediate air support could have made the Laguna Fire manageable during the firest quarter hour of its spread. Over 36,000 acres burned and 469 homes destroyed or severely damaged. October of 1993 brought with it the most devastating fire season that Orange County had ever experienced. Calling on their experience as National Guard Pilots, Bob, Paul, Kevin, and Tom were instrumental in laying out the possibilities and educating the various members of the organization on the basics of a helicopter program. During the late 1980вЂ™s adn early 1990вЂ™s, John Howlind, Bob Pracht, Paul Keim and Tom Evans collaborated to prepare a comprehensive proposal in initiate a Firefighting Helicopter Program. With the transition from CDF to the Orange County Fire Department, members of the organization continued to recognize the need for our own firefighting helicopters. Although the helicopter never materialized, the crew found an alternate mode of transportation to the fire that led to their informal re-designation as the вЂњBus Attack Crew.вЂќ Some of those Bus Attack crew members are still around, but few will admit it. So sure were we that we quickly formed a Helitack Crew. Legend has it that in 1978 the вЂњOrange Ranger UnitвЂќ was scheduled to get a helicopter.
