Instructors from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire), dunk U.S. Army UH-60M Black Hawk pilot and Warrant Officer 1 Maldonado, of the 1st Assault Helicopter Battalion, 140th Aviation Regiment, California Army National Guard, into the deep end of a swimming pool while he is strapped inside a simulated helicopter cockpit during interagency underwater helicopter egress training between Cal Fire and the California National Guard, March 15, 2023, at Joint Forces Training Base, Los Alamitos, California. The so-called “dunker” training is required for all personnel who will fly on wildfire missions which require hovering low over lakes and reservoirs to fill buckets of water for aerial firefighting operations.
