Los Angeles County Fire Department Chief Daryl Osby said: “All survivors were determined to have been perished”
“Our firefighters on the scene indicated there was a debris-filled and steep terrain with quarter-acre brush fire
“Our firefighters hiked into the accident site with medical equipment and hose lines to extinguish the stubborn fire, as it included the brushfire debris from the helicopter. The fire also included magnesium which is very hard for our firefighters to extinguish because magnesium reacts with oxygen and water.”
