THIS IS THE PHU CAT FIRE STATION

WE BUILT THIS REVETMENT AROUND THE STATION AFTER THE ROCKET ATTACKS BECAME MORE FREQUENT THEY HIT THE BASE TERMINAL ACROSS THE STREET FROM US AT O:700 A.M. ONE MORNING.

HH-43 "PEDRO"

THIS FIRE WAS FOUGHT WITH THE (HH-43)("PEDRO") RESCUE HELICOPTER AND FIREMEN AT PHUCAT

BATTLE DAMAGE

THIS COBRA DIDN’T MAKE IT TO THE RUNWAY EACH SHIFT WERE AVERAGING UP TO 19 EMERGENCY AIRCRAFT LANDINGS PER 24-HOUR SHIFT

"PEDRO"(HH-43) AND CREW

THE RESCUE CHOPPER WAS USUALLY THE FIRST ON A CRASH SCENE< THIER JOB WAS TO CUT A RESCUE PATH AND GET THE AIRCRAFT PERSONNEL OUT. THE TRUCKS WOULD ARRIVE AND FINISH EXTINQUISHING THE FIRE.
