Rappel Crews are wildland firefighters who drop directly from hovering helicopters on ropes — often descending into areas that are not easily accessible. Their primary mission is quick initial attack on remote wildfires where traditional firefighting methods are impractical.
The #SiskiyouRappelCrew put on a demonstration today at Grants Pass Airport for 2026 Airport Day! Spectators were given the chance to watch our rappellers practice their skill set, with @smokey_bear on hand to help keep an eye on things. facebook.com/share/p/194i4Um…
