A helicopter at the park… not something I’m used to seeing every day.

Thankfully, this wasn’t a medical emergency.

The crew of this helicopter along with Riverside County’s Fire and Sheriff Departments participated in a safety fair held at the Victoria Grove Community Park yesterday in Riverside.

Here are a few pictures:
