Looking through the window of one California Army National Guard CH-47 Chinook helicopter, another Chinook from B Company 1-126th General Support Aviation Battalion prepares to take off from the helibase in Whitmore, Calif., Aug. 8. The California National Guard supported California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection during the Eiler Fire in Lassen National Forest by providing helicopters and crews capable of transporting personnel and dropping water onto the wildfire.
