A nonprofit's volunteer helicopter team has been flying supplies in to residents stranded in snowed-in communities of the San Bernardino Mountains.
"Loaded this helicopter up, got a bunch of donations for them," said CalDART pilot Wes Klein, referring to people who have seen their food and other supplies dwindle amid road closures and other logistical impediments.
Klein shared video with ABC7 that showed the moment his helicopter touched down in Green Valley Lake with life-saving supplies like food and medicine "When you're trapped in your house, I'm assuming with 8 feet or snow, and you haven't been outside for 10 days and you're running low on supplies," said Klein, "you just want somebody to like know you're there and come out there and give you some support."
CalDart is a non profit that provides airborne disaster relief mission throughout California.
