    Naval Aircrewman 1st Class Patrick Blaise, assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron THREE (HSC-3), makes a water pickup during an aerial firefighting mission. HSC-3 and HSC-21 are assisting CALFIRE by providing aircrews flying specially-equipped MH-60S helicopters to conduct aerial water drops against several wildfires in eastern San Diego County. San Diego HSC squadrons are trained for fire-fighting missions at the Navy's Southern California offshore training ranges and conduct semi-annual joint training with CALFIRE to ensure interoperability and an immediate response capability in support of local authorities for emergency events.
