February Fire 2006
Reader-submitted and staff photos of the February Fire. This human-caused blaze started February 6, 2006 and kicked off one of the earliest fire seasons on record. Readers are encouraged to send their photos to editor@payson.com.
The first civilian-owned Sikorsky CH53D Fire Stallion helicopter prepares to take off from the Payson Airport to battle the February Fire burning 12 miles from the town limits. This aircraft, now serving as a firefighting unit for Heavy Lift Helicopters, Inc., was the last helicopter out of Saigon during the 1975 evacuation.
