Mike Fournier was piloting a helicopter performing water drops over a brush fire when it crashed in the Central California Hills.  He was the only one aboard the craft.  It took search and rescue teams six and a half hours to recover his remains from the difficult terrain. The crews removed his body from the crash site wrapped in an American flag. The cause of the crash is unknown.  Mike is survived by his two wonderful daughters, wife and heartbroken extended family and friends.
