Searching for a Lost Hunter

[Guest guest]

An Air Evac helicopter searching for a lost hunter crashed around 0300 today

in a wooded area in Colbert County, Alabama with no survivors. Air Evac is

an air ambulance service, which also assists in search and rescue details. A

man involved in the search said the Air Evac crew had spotted the man just

before 0300 and were holding a spotlight on him to show ground searchers

where to find him. Suddenly, the helicopter crashed, causing a huge

explosion.

Lost in the crash were:

Pilot - Baker

Nurse - Miles

Paramedic- Allan Bragwell

The Underwood-sville VFD and the Lauderdale County Association of

Volunteer Fire Departments are advising that in addition to working on the

Air Evac flight team, Allan Bragwell was acting director of the Helen Keller

Ambulance Service, and a Firefighter with the UPVFD.
