Toe \ For the second consecutive year the District has stationed in the South Toe Area, a helicopter to be used to transport fire fighting crews within the Zone I District. This zone is made up of the Grandfather District located in Marion, French Broad District located in Ho’t Springs and the Toecaue District located in Burnsville. This method of transportation was first used on the District last spring and was so successful the District began making arrangements right away to secure a helicopter for use again this yew. The helicopter and crew is kept on stand-by alert in the Busick Area. When the air detection plane picks up a smoke he will investigate to determine the following: [l] if the fire is loose or controlled; [2] the behavior of the fire, how fast it is spreading; [3] If there is an area where the helicopter can set down; [4] location of the nearest road or trail and an estimate of time required for ground attack force to get in. Should he advise the Dispatcher that the helicopter can be used the Dispatcher in turn will radio the helitack crew who can be airborne in a matter of seconds. This enables the crew to control the fire at a minimum of acres thus reducing the total resource loss.
