Sailors attached to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 85 disembark from aircraft number 85 after assisting in fire fighting efforts in the San Diego area. HSC-85 is the only Navy helicopter squadron in San Diego qualified to assist in the fire fighting effort. More than a quarter-million people were urged to flee their homes across Southern California as wildfires blown by fierce desert winds raced over the landscape with terrifying speed, destroying hundreds of structures, clogging highways, sending smoke and ash over a wide area. The numerous fires in San Diego County currently threaten no Navy facilities. The Navy is working with various agencies to aide in combating the fires and providing assistance to both military and civilians.
