A helicopter went down in a mountainous region of Idaho while fighting an out-of-control forest fire, killing both pilots on board, officials said Friday.
ROTAK Helicopter Services confirmed that its CH-47D Series Chinook crashed at about 3:30 p.m. local time on Thursday, battling the massive Moose Fire near Salmon, Idaho.
“There are two confirmed fatalities, which were the two pilots on board when the crash occurred,” according to a statement by Forest Service spokesman E. Wade Muehlhof.
The Forest Service identified the victims as Thomas Hayes, 41, from Post Falls, Idaho, and Jared Bird, 36, from Anchorage, Alaska.
The wreckage was quickly found and the pilots rushed to a hospital, ROTAK Helicopter Services General Manager Ely Woods told NBC News on Friday.
