Topflight Assists with Rescue of Hiker Cornered by a Wildfire

September 5, 2023

When a hiker was trapped by the Crater Creek wildfire in Cathedral Park, BC, Canadian Helicopters’ sister company Topflight Elite Training and Charters was called upon to assist.  Topflight Instructor Adam Sloan and two members of Penticton Search and Rescue took approximately four hours to complete the rescue using an Airbus AS350B3e.   The rescue took place in late August.

Details of the challenging rescue can be found in an article released by Helicopters Magazine: Heroic fire rescue in the face of flames – Helicopters Magazine.
