Donation update
Named "Ka 'Io" after the Hawaiian hawk, this AirBus H125 is equipped to respond to EMS calls across the island, as well as perform firefighting and rescue operations. Through the generous donations from a group of amazing donors, we were able to procure this helicopter for the Hawai'i Fire Department to replace the faithful but aging Chopper 2. This is one of the many amazing donations that we were able to provide to the first responders on the island of Hawai'i.
