Starting early July, you are likely to see more helicopters in the air.
These are unrelated to the Darlene 3 Fire. The Deschutes National Forest is hosting a national firefighting aviation training west of Bend.
The training is a way for firefighters to certify in rappelling, which adds to the resources for fighting fires.
Training starts on July 2, and is scheduled through July 10. This will not impact trails or outdoor recreation, but you may see them working in the air. Red more on this story at Central Oregon Daily
