Pilots in dramatic Woolsey fire rescue while low on gas

"The two pilots were dropping water on a flank of the destructive Woolsey fire the day after it broke out when they got a request to rescue people stuck nearby on Castro Peak in the hills above Malibu.

Their fuel supply was dwindling and thick smoke filled the air around them. Eventually they found a flat spot to ground the helicopter, and one of the pilots hopped out. Moments later, he emerged with three people and two dogs.

The dramatic mountain rescue, involving Los Angeles Fire Department pilots David Nordquist and Joel Smith, was captured in an 11-minute video the agency released Monday.

Once the people and pets were in the plane, the pilots took off.

“Ah, that was close,” one says after taking off
“Yeah, it was,” the other replied.
“That’s enough excitement for me today.”
The other laughed."
