Wildfires are the No. 1 natural hazard in Douglas County and can happen in any season. Everyone in Douglas County – emergency response agencies and residents – must be prepared for the possibility of a wildland fire.
Aerial support is a critical component of Douglas County’s wildfire preparedness toolbox directed by the Douglas County Office of Emergency Management in close partnership with local fire departments and other agencies. To save lives and protect property, the Trans Aero Helicopter is contracted with Douglas County for exclusive use June 1 until Oct. 31, 2024, with the opportunity to extend exclusive use this year as needed. Having an exclusive use helicopter on contract ensures this tool is ready to be deployed whenever Douglas County needs it.
