Sheriff's STARR 1 Helicopter Grass Fire Outside Assist

Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff STARR1 helicopter was recently requested to assist the fire department as it was attempting to contain a grass fire that was getting close to three homes near HWY 160, just north of the Antioch Bridge.
STARR 1 responded to the area. The fire, spreading fast due to high winds and flames, was less than 40 yards from a house.
STARR 1 landed and applied the 144 gallon fire bucket to the bottom of the helicopter. STARR 1 dropped six buckets of water on the grass fire extinguishing the flames near the home. STARR 1 continued to drop water on the fire for over 30 minutes.
