“ELVIS” WAS EVALUATED WITH 100% EFFECTIVENESS IN FIRE FIGHTING

The Sikorsky S-64 SkyCrane, popularly known as "Elvis", was the best evaluated aircraft by the National Forestry Corporation (CONAF) in the fight against forest fires that affected the center-south of Chile last summer.

The presence of this helicopter in the catastrophe was managed by our company, in its alliance with the Erickson Inc. Company.

Among the six ships evaluated, it was the only one that obtained 100% effectiveness. During the 100 days of operation in eight fires in the VIII región, Elvis launched 1,600,000 liters of water in 221 discharges, with high precision.

“Beyond the evaluations, what corresponds now is to prepare ourselves as a country for the next fire season, making the politics converge with the technical decisions and budgets to deal with these emergencies in an appropriate way”, highlights our Commercial Manager, Armando Weinberger.
