Helicopter Crash

[rick35]

Someone on the west side of Bear across from Shep Browns has a small helicopter which he lands on a floating platform. It may have been him. Unfortunately we were home doing yard work but I hear it was really windy which could have been the cause of the crash.

I received a call in the afternoon saying there was a fire on Bear which was reportedly caused by a branch that fell on a transformer. My son and his friends went over to see what was going on and ended up helping to put out the fire. When we left Meredith last night my wife commented that the fire danger was low which surprised me. I was out on the trails on Bear on Thursday and thought it was pretty dry. Add some wind any you have some the making of a potential big problem.
