Helicopter Rescue Amid Ramona Wildfire | San Diego News
Description
A brush fire near Ramona exploded into the 350-acre Creelman Fire, fueled by wind and requiring 300 firefighters to contain it by Friday evening—just days after evacuation orders hit 1,500 residents. Amid the chaos, a Cal Fire helicopter crew diverted from reloading water to rescue two trapped motorists whose car was surrounded by flames. They cleared a landing zone, touched down, and airlifted them safely to an ambulance—then immediately returned to battle the blaze with over 50 water drops. This rescue echoed last week’s Thorn Fire rescue, reminding San Diego County residents: have a plan and sign up for alerts at AlertSanDiego.org.
