“CDFW wardens responded, made access to the downed aircraft, and rendered aid. The pilot was uninjured and no wildland fire occurred. This is an example of what rural CDFW enforcement and patrol operations do. We are grateful the pilot walked away from this.”

SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY – On August 2, 2024, a single engine aircraft crashed in a remote area of San Joaquin County. Emergency crews were dispatched and wardens from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife were the first to arrive to assess the situation and assist the pilot who remarkably was seemingly uninjured, pulled himself out of the overturned aircraft and walked away unassisted by emergency personnel. The pilot was the only person on board.
Multiple news agencies reported additional information on the crash:
