"Facing Life or Death in the Rockies: How rebel instinct changed Canada's mountain rescues." https://www.51degreesnorthmagazine.ca/adventure/rad-lines/facing-life-or-death-in-the-rockies-4533336 Thank you to @51degreesnorthmagazine for this excellent feature on the history of mountain rescue in the Rockies, featuring quotes from some of our rescue pilots here at Alpine about what it takes to perform this vital community service. “That’s why we signed up to be rescue pilots — to be there for the community and using our skill set to help our community,” Hirsch said. “We’re going to help with your problem as efficiently and safely and quickly as we can, not causing harm to us or the aircraft.” [Photo credit: Noel Rogers]

Two great reads available in our gift shop at Canmore! 'Aloft' is a book of gorgeous alpine photography, a perfect addition to any coffee table. 'Vertical Reference' is the incredible story of helicopter pilot Jim Davies. We definitely recommend checking them out! 🚁📚

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.
