Friday August 13th turned out to be a memorable day for us here at our Canmore base. At 4:18 while picking up clients on a heli hike, one of our pilots noticed smoke in the Deadman’s Flats area. The pilot immediately headed in that direction to investigate and after arriving overhead the pilot reported the fire to Calgary Forestry on their radio system.
The aircraft returned to the Canmore heliport for a water bucket and began making water drops on the fire. Because of the close proximity of our base to the fire we were the first aircraft on scene to action the fire and also the last aircraft to leave the fire at the end of legal daylight. It’s always rewarding to help our community and be part of the large team that responded to this event.
Alpine had three aircraft on scene and one of our staff responded on the ground as a firefighter with Canmore Fire Rescue. We are proud to be part of the first responders in our community wether it be fire, flood or rescue and we are extremely happy to operate from this very strategic location for the next ten years.

Thank you to @gregwayphotography for these incredible photos!
Inside the helicopter - "We just changed the blades and it was during our first run after getting the work done. Just before flying to do some testing and adjusting everything for the helicopter to run smooth."
Second photo - "In the process of hooking up the blades during a smoky sunset and bugs attacking you from everywhere."
All of this in Kenora, Ontario

For a breathtaking view of the Three Sisters Peaks, let us take you by helicopter! 🚁
Did you know that this iconic trio of mountains was initially named The Three Nuns? Albert Rogers coined the name in 1883 after a storm left a heavy veil of snow on the northern face of all three peaks. They were renamed the Three Sisters in 1886 by George Dawson.
In the traditional language of the Îyârhe Nakoda the peaks are also referred to as the three sisters. However, the name refers to a story of Ĩ-ktomnĩ, the old man or trickster, who would promise 'three sisters' in marriage whenever he was in trouble.

We've done over 60 hours' worth of rescues so far this year. Thank you as always to everyone who is part of these search and rescue efforts.
In Canada, search and rescue (SAR) is a shared responsibility. The list of partners is made up of government, military, volunteer and industry groups, who all work together to provide SAR services across the nation.
