Where is the memorial to the pilot and firefighters who died on July 5, 1976?
On July 5, 1976, helicopter pilot James Davidson,and firefighters, Ken Carvin and John Ivins were killed in a crash that also seriously wounded two others while fighting a human caused fire west of Carson City in the Kings Canyon area.
Last week while hiking in the area we noticed that it has been removed. Why? Is it due to vandalism or has it been removed to make way for a trail or is it being refurbished?
This memorial is a significant monument to a sad event in Carson City's history and should be treated with the respect it deserves and consideration for those left behind.
Whoever has the answers there are many that would like to know.
