Written by Black Hot Fire Network on October 26, 2022
The Yakima Training Center is one of few places with the resources to pull off rescues in difficult terrain like mountains. Its UH-60L Black Hawk helicopter is able to do more than other rescue aircrafts are.Â
The U.S. Army Air Ambulance Detachment uses the helicopter to conduct rescues in places like the Yakima River and the Cascade mountains.Â
Most of YTC's rescues happen along the Cascade mountains because of injured or dehydrated hikers or skiers . . .
