Description:

Ash Mountain helibase, located at SEKI park headquarters near Three Rivers, CA, is used as a base of operations for helitack staff, fire operations, training and many other activities. The base is operational for approximately 180 days of the year, with infrequent use during the off-season by law enforcement operations, winter SAR operations, snow survey and other emergency occurrences.
