On October 20, 2004 a crew of brave men made the ultimate sacrifice in their service to others in a fatal medical aviation accident. Wednesday, October 20, 2010 marks the sixth anniversary of that day, the day that SWFD members were notified that AirHeart-1 was missing. The AirHeart-1 helicopter was carrying Robert Heighton, SWFD Firefighter/Paramedic; Jack Chase, Sacred Heart Flight Nurse; and Tom Palcic, Pilot.
On October 20, 2010 at 7:50 a.m., SWFD will sound a general alarm and have a moment of silence to honor the memory of these dedicated public servants.
Please keep Robert, Jack and Tom and their families in your thoughts and prayers and honor their sacrifice.
“The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it. With this tribute, we celebrate their lives, memorialize their sacrifice, and commemorate their service.”
