The video below, shot by Fred Johnsen of AirailImages, shows Arizona Army National Guard Blackhawk helicopter crews training with local firefighters at Picacho on February 21, 2021.

The training was a multi-agency firefighting exercise in partnership with Casa Grande, Avra Valley, and Queen Valley Fire Departments, as well as the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management and the U.S. Forest Service. About 50 crews with the National Guard were trained and certified for future support efforts for state and federal response.
