Guidance Aviation's Helicopter Supports Wildland Firefighters At Arizona Event

Private Screening Of 'Planes: Fire And Rescue' Helps Raise Over $7,500

The release of Disney's movie "Planes: Fire and Rescue" brought much needed support to our wildland firefighters nationally as private screenings of the firefighting movie were held across the country to raise funds for the Wildland Firefighters Foundation. Each private screening was organized by a local host.

In Northern Arizona, screenings were hosted by Diane Travis and Anessa Andrews with assistance from Annie Lane and Tiffanie Mabery. Travis contacted Guidance Aviation of Prescott, Arizona, quickly rounding up the helicopter flight training organization's fire engine red helicopters for support. Their efforts raised in excess of $7,500.

"Including Guidance Aviation's donation for the auditorium rentals, we were able to raise $4,732 from the Prescott Valley screening and $2965 from the Sedona screening for a total of $7,697. After auditorium rentals and PayPal fees we were able to donate a total of $6,000.00 to the Wildland Firefighters Foundation. Thank you Guidance Aviation for your help and sponsorship," stated Diane Travis.

This isn't the first time Guidance Aviation has jumped in to join the fight. In June, 2013, Guidance Aviation coordinated a large, regional effort, setting up 15 collection sites for firefighter supplies in the cities of Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, and Dewey. See

Wildland Firefighter Foundation's main focus is to help families of firefighters killed in the line of duty and to assist injured firefighters and their families. We honor and acknowledge past, present, and future members of the wildland firefighting community, and partner with private and interagency organizations to bring recognition to wildland firefighters.
