Remove helicopters with crew from Austria and Switzerland are used in the devastating forest fires in South Korea. The special plane was specially started.
At least 27 fatalities, 32 seriously injured people, 37,000 evacuated people and a forest area of approximately 36,000 hectares burned out – the worst fires in the history of the country anger in South Korea.
1000 year old temple and historic village destroyed
Also destroyed in the Fire Hell: a temple of more than 1000 years old and the historic Hahoe Village, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2010. On the right in the middle instead of just in the Inferno: a flying fire bump from Austria and Switzerland.
The “European Firecats” consist of the Heli Austria and the Swiss lion air. Together they have service all over the world to fight fire with Airbus AS332 “Super Pumas”.
“Countless challenges”
Domestic flight assistant Dominik Köll to the “Kroon”: “The mission brings countless challenges. The most important basis for successful fire fights from the air is the close cooperation between pilot, technician and flight assistant” – and beyond: “mutual trust and precise work are essential to perform the blissing work.”
The two “Super Pumas” have been stationed in South Korea since the end of February and, just like in the previous year, have received a contract from the State Forestry Authority in the South Korea. They have been constantly in use since the fire broke out.
“Is a brand of fire, five new flames on”
The Confederation and Pilot Sascha Fleischmann: “The intensity of these forest fires exceeds everything I have experienced so far.” In general, a dozen specialists in South Korea are used. They are all experts in their respective specialized area. The crew has years of experience in Forest Fire Fighting. Fleischmann continues: “As soon as we have removed a brand of fire, five new ones flourish. The combination of dense smoke and wind speeds of up to 80 km/h makes the extinguishing work a race by time.” Incidentally, the two tons of tonhelicopter were transported by cargo ship to South Korea.
