The new helicopter and hoist simulator, located at McClellan Air Base, offers hands-on training without the real-world risks.
The simulator allows crews to experience real-life emergency scenarios, practicing critical maneuvers without stepping into a helicopter.
The simulator also models real California landscapes, mountains, valleys, and lakes, while factoring in unpredictable challenges like wind.
The helicopter simulator and the hoist simulator operate separately. But soon, they'll be linked to allow pilots and hoist crews to train together in fully simulated rescue scenarios.
"It adds value for both our new pilots and our experienced pilots training on hoisting," Smith said. "No matter what their experience level is, this will make them better."
With 11 Cal Fire bases and over 300 crew members across the state, teams will now be able to travel to McClellan for this cutting-edge training.
