Helicopter Visits - Helensville
11 July 2015
View from the office: Eagle parked outside the mobile canteen, SH16
The mobile canteen had an unusual visitor when the police helicopter Eagle dropped in on State Highway 16 at Helensville. It was if the chopper crew recognised the canteen from above, realised they were on to a good thing and put down for morning tea of hot drinks and chocolate biscuits! In truth there had been a fatal accident along the road involving a truck-and-trailer and a car, and the police helo arrived as part of Serious Crash Unit investigations. Although a clear sunny day, it was very cold out in the open so hot drinks from the canteen were greatly appreciated by all emergency services workers at the scene. As well as attending in the canteen members maintained road blocks.
