The first forestry pilot hired by CAL FIRE -- then the Department of Forestry -- was among those who died in last week's devastating helicopter crash in Trinity County. James Ramage, 63, was on board the Sikorsky S-61 helicopter that went down August 5th, killing nine and injuring four. Ramage worked for CAL FIRE for two decades before retiring in 2004. He then moved over to the U.S. Forest Service, for whom he worked as a helicopter inspection pilot.
