Photos by CPT Ryan Sutherland DRAPER, Utah - The Utah National Guard was activated to assist with firefighting efforts on the Quail Hollow fire Sept. 1, in Cottonwood Heights. Black Hawk pilots, crews and support personnel from the Utah Guard's 2-211th Aviation answered the call on short notice, responding with two UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters to help attack the fire from the air. Each helicopter made repeated trips to nearby water sources to dip its 600-gallon bucket and drop the water on the flames.
